Richmond native Donte Clark always believed his life had a purpose. Lately, he seems to have found it.
Clark, 25, a spoken-word performer and show producer, is the subject of a new feature length documentary, Romeo is Bleeding, directed by Jason Zeldes. The film follows Clark as he produces an adaptation of the iconic Shakespeare play “Romeo and Juliet,†rewritten to fit a Richmond narrative.
“It’s a hopeful story because it’s showcasing somebody who has found a way to communicate on a really high level,†Zeldes said. “Donte is somebody who was given a choice at a couple different crossroads in his life and he was going to use his ability to communicate for good or evil. But he keeps on choosing life.â€
