Welcome to the Dreamtime. This site is for the independent feature Love Is Hard (A Burlesque Fairy Tale).
 
A romantic comedy for cynical New Yorkers, Love Is Hard is a very modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast, featuring the hottest stars of the New Burlesque.
 
Click around and let us know what you think. The main categories are the heart buttons on the left. Don't see them? You need to run Java. If you don't have it, you can get the runtime here.
