YouTube.com Drama Spawns Doc
Producers Chris Adams and Steve Kearney are joining with producer-director RJ Cutler to create a feature documentary about a true-life love story that played out on YouTube.com.
The film will follow the romance of teenage video blogger Daniel Meadows, an Austalian who fell in love with an American teen, Shannon Jones, online, where they documented their relationship.
The two young lovers’ efforts to meet were thwarted, however, when Meadows traveled to the U.S., where he he was detained by Homeland Security on suspicion of terrorism.
Kearney, who had followed the affair on Youtube, brought it to the attention of Adams, a co-founder of Particpant Media.
