The Sonnet Project is a massive multimedia exploration of Shakespeares great poems. We are creating 154 short films, one for each sonnet. Each video stars a different actor and is filmed at a different iconic or historic location in NYC. In the year leading up to Shakespeares 450th birthday in April 2014, NY Shakespeare Exchange will release a new video every 2-3 days.
The Sonnet Project mobile app is the perfect interface for this public-access experience. Users will receive a push notification each time a new video is released, and can watch the video right on their mobile device. They can also click through to learn about what makes that location interesting and historic.
The mapping tool allows the user to see where each location is, and to find other sonnets that were filmed in the vicinity.
