About the Story:

Crazy Love is multi-cultural/Haitian-American film loosely base on the classic tragedy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It's the story of two political exiled families, the LaGuerre and the LeRoie, once joined by idealism and prosperity for a better country, Haiti, and is now separated by misguided deeds and goals. Lives are destroyed in the families' quest for power. From these feuding families, a son (Noah) and daughter (Arielle) are destined to fall in love, Crazy Love, and share an unfortunate fate. Their misgivings bring their familial grudge to an end.
