The Story
Banished from the society of court, Rosalind starts a new life in the Forest of Arden disguised as a boy. Outside the city limits, she discovers a newfound freedom of identity, expression, and love in a story that flips the script on romantic convention.
The Series
Set in present-day New York City and filmed in two locations, this playful adaptation juxtaposes an old Hollywood drama at the Duke’s Court and a bohemian romantic comedy in the Forest of Arden where characters explore new identities and new ways of living. Through this story of love and possibility, Apocalyptic invites our audience to consider: how might we live in harmony with each other and Nature?
