Brooklyn-based filmmaker Lizzie Gottlieb intimately documents her friends, a lesbian couple, as they attempt to conceive. With no holds barred access, Gottlieb follows warm, laid back Lexy and reserved, career woman Jessica every step of the way as they traverse the world of artificial insemination, from sperm donors to expensive and harrowing IVF to the possibility that Lexy might not be able to get pregnant. Filled with test tubes, laughter, and tears, ROMEO, ROMEO (from the producers of KISSING JESSICA STEIN) is a totem to the struggles and triumphs of marriage and family, and a relatable and compelling story both modern and timeless.

Lizzie Gottlieb directs theater and film in New York City. She founded and ran Pure Orange Productions, which produced new plays Off Broadway. Her first short film, Why Don’t You Dance, screened at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 1998. Her most recent film, Today’s Man, is a feature documentary about Asperger Syndrome. It follows her brother Nicky and his struggle to become an independent man in the world. It aired on PBS and screened at festivals around the world.
