Salon: Short film 'Sonnet 44: Unisphere', from The New York Shakespeare Exchange’s year-long Sonnet Project, in which they commissioned a film to be made for each of the 154 Sonnets 

[Every director was assigned a sonnet and New York City location. Over the next year leading up to Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, they released a short film every few days via their app and website. The goal was to get 1 million people watching Shakespeare.]
