Bellisario is playing Juliet whose star-crossed lover Romeo is actually another woman in the Shakespeare-inspired short film ​Still a Rose​.

The short film tells the story of four couples: male Romeo/female Juliet, male Romeo/male Juliet, female Romeo/male Juliet, and female Romeo/female Juliet.

​Still a Rose​ proves that true love transcends gender, sexuality, and race. The film was shown at various film festivals this summer, and will be screened again in New York City this Sunday.
