Sky Arts Brand Activation at Secret Cinema's Romeo+Juliet show

Sky Arts - Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet

Media layers play such a significant role in Baz Luhrmann's seminal film 'Romeo+Juliet' that right from the off I knew I needed a media partner to help stitch this world together. Sky Arts helped in multifaceted ways. 

  • I designed a fictional event "The Truce of Two Houses" acting as our narrative vehicle
  • A dedicated media character, made possible by Sky investment roved the site 
  • They reported widely on the family truce including giving VIPs extra focus
  • I created a Verona beach TV or VBTV channel as a mirror to Sky
  • Various screens around the site delivered notable story beats in the build
  • Entrance screen surfaces relaying adverts and in world story telling
  • VIP experience featured audience participating in live TV interviews to build hype
  • Sky News powered the cinema screen waking up as our 'Brawl #2' gets out of control 
  • Sky news report breaks news: 'Fair Verona burns!' 
  • I ensured that this linked to as tightly to the opening film scene show 'Brawl #3 to create a seamless blend between our prequel story and the much loved film
