Synopsis

With a dark, whimsical twist, we retell the story of Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up. In this live-action modern version, San Francisco stands in as Neverland and we introduce Peter before his conflict with Hooke and take you on a wild ride around the gritty city of Neverland. You will meet the Lost Boys, Peter's Street Gang, and many of your favorite Neverland characters, including a totally reimagined Tinker Bell. She still has wings and an attitude but is way more fabulous.

Director's Biography

Ronald Lee Allman, filmmaker portrait provided to AFIN. Ronald Lee Allman Director

Ronnie Allman is an award winning Independent Filmmaker based in San Francisco. 8 years ago he moved to SF and realized he was living in a modern day Neverland. The "Street Kids" on Haight Ashbury reminded him of the Lost Boys and people flying around on motorcycles gave him hope that Peter lived here somewhere. Fast forward 7 years and Ronnie has an exciting film that will bring that vision to life. In 2013 Ron Howard picked Ronnie’s film “Filter” to win Grand Prize for his Project Imagination Contest. The film was featured on The Sundance Channel and IFC. Ronnie also directs video content for brands including Adobe, Frito-Lay, Starbucks and HP.
