Is any love more tender than young love, or more agonizing when threatened by extinction from outside forces? Shakespeare’s classic paradigm finds contemporaneity in I’LL FIND YOU, a new film directed by Martha Coolidge. Instead of Romeo and Juliet in Renaissance Verona, we find ROBERT and RACHEL in mid-20th Century Europe - ensnared by the tumult of World War II. ROBERT, a catholic opera singer and RACHEL, a Jewish violin virtuoso, dream of one day performing together at legendary Carnegie Hall. When they’re torn apart by the German invasion of Poland, Robert vows to find Rachel, no matter what...

Inspired by stories of Polish musicians from the 1930-is/40-is I’LL FIND YOU was produced by Zbigniew Raczynski & Lukas Raczynski (father and son), by Bozenna Intrator and by Fred Roos - an Oscar Winner, a producer of such films as The Godfather, Apocalypse now and Lost in translation. His son Alexander as Executive Producer supported Roos. Film directed Martha Coolidge, admired for the portrayals of young people in such lauded films as Valley Girl, Rambling Rose and Real Genius. Coolidge has also directed adult fare (Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, Angie, Lost in Yonkers) and is the only woman to serve as president of the Directors Guild of America. The screenplay wrote American film director and screenwriter, Oscar Winner, David S. Ward and Polish-American poet, screenwriter and producer, Bozenna Intrator. Another Oscar Winner, Jan A.P. Kaczmarek composed the score to I’LL FIND YOU.

The role of Robert is taken by Leo Suter, a rising leading man and recent Oxford University graduate with extensive experience in student theatre. Robert is his first leading role in movies. He most recently appeared in the TV series, Victoria and Ransom.
