St. Louis shot narrative feature film directed by U City resident Vanessa Roman.

ST. LOUIS - “Doubting Tom” was filmed entirely in the St. Louis area, based on U City resident Vanessa Roman’s love of dart league and Oscar Wilde. Roman regularly played competitive darts at Blueberry Hill. In the league, she found friendship and eventually love, connecting with her husband while playing darts. As she was writing the screenplay, she found herself unable to resist crafting an update of “The Importance of Being Earnest” and setting it at the beloved restaurant she grew up only blocks away from.
