Starring René Zara (Namaste, Letter of Truth), John Joseph Marshall (Project Olympus, Martin Eden), and Killarney Traynor (The Dinner Party). Directed by Gregory Bergeron.

Inspired by the works of Jane Austen, MRS. OSBOURNE was written by René Zara in her first ever screen production. The film was shot in September 2019 at the picturesque Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden, a national historic landmark situated in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA. Mrs. Osbourne’s iconic dress was designed and constructed by noted Boston-based dress maker, Rusty Palumbo.
