Fern's Story

Fern, a young, darkly comedic single woman moves to the Boardwalk of her favorite beach and attempts to achieve her childhood dream of getting married, but struggles with the insane modern world of dating.

Our film introduces a positive role model in our female protagonist, Fern. She is full of hope and humor through her difficult challenges, and wants to leave behind a better, more loving world. 

We love romantic comedies and grew up with a new and wonderful one hitting theaters almost every week. We miss that heart-wrenching-tear-jerking-but-laughing-all-the-way trend and want to bring it back!

With your help in supporting 'Boardwalk Winter' we can give the gift of love and laughter to the world and hopefully start a trend that brings more films like this into theaters alongside all the CGI-filled blockbusters.

Cast and Crew

Fern - played by Natalie Veater

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10792934/?ref_=nv_s...

We cast Natalie in our short film proof-of-concept and were blown away by her phenomenal screen presence and ability to bring Fern to life exactly as she was written and conceived. She has agreed to join the feature film version and also co-produce the project.

Cole - played by Chris Maher

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6681923/?ref_=nv_sr...

Fern's love interest is a handsome and charismatic surfer she meets on the beach in front of her tiny Boardwalk hotel. Chris is a fantastic actor...and Natalie's real life love! Don't worry about sparks. They'll fly.

Tiffany - played by Magali Trench

Magali played Fern's best friend in the proof-of-concept short film as well and was absolutely incredible! She has also agreed to return for the feature and we know you'll love her, too!

Director/Writer/Producer - Jonathan Fox

This is Jonathan's passion project. It is a love letter to his hometown of Virginia Beach and his wife and four daughters. He hopes this story will help others seek the love and joy he has experienced in his marriage.

Help Us Bring Fern to Life

Help us show the industry that there is a demand for more romantic comedies! We want to see our film made and many more like it to come!

The more we can raise here the better the movie will be and the easier it will be for us to obtain additional financing! 

Your funding will go to hiring a professional pre and post-production crew, along with fantastic actors to bring this wonderful story to life. Virginia Beach provides a welcoming atmosphere for filming and most of the crew will be from the local film community. 

Why this story?

We feel that Fern and Cole have the potential to become great role models for today's young people searching for love and happiness. Our story is meant to give everyone hope in the possibility of finding love in a lasting and meaningful relationship through commitment and shared values.

Help us add 'Boardwalk Winter' to the long list of inspiring films in movie history and bring more joy and light to the world.

Risks & Challenges

We know making a movie is hard, but rest assured our producers, cast and crew have been there before and are ready for any challenges that await.

Please take the time to watch our short film 'proof-of-concept' included in this post. It is a condensed Act I that runs about 19 minutes and will give you a good idea of what we are going for. We filmed it in on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk in April-May of 2023 and it was a great test run for the full feature.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute, we totally understand. Eventually, like most movies...it'll end up on a streaming service for free (with loads of ads) or on one you already subscribe to. So, when you see this out there, please watch it!

And in the mean time, you can help by simply spreading the word on your social media platform of choice. It would mean a lot to us, so thank you ahead of time!
