Synopsis: Native American folklore says that Princess Ronkonkoma's lover was scorned by her family because he was from an enemy tribe and therefore, took his own life. Now, her spirit remains in the lake, avenging her lost love by taking the life of any man who ventures into her domain. A young woman, grieving the loss of her brother to the lake, is determined to uncover the secret of this legend. Watch the trailer HERE.
The film stars Seth Gilliam (The Walking Dead) and Nia Sioux (Dance Moms) as the father – daughter protagonists, and also features Larry Saperstein (High School Musical: The Musical TV Series), Emery Kelly (Netflix's Alexa & Katie), Steven Thomas Capp (Fat Camp), and Julie Dove (Days of our Lives).
Lise Romanoff, CEO/Managing Director of Vision Films says, "The Lady of The Lake is an edge of your seat thriller based on legend and lore, but uniquely also pulls at your heartstrings as it explores a father's understanding of his fraught teenage daughter in the wake of their family's tragic loss."

Their alignment in my desire to tell this story about my childhood home, Lake Ronkonkoma, and include the experiences and people I love and desire to work with, is absolutely refreshing."
