NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Pop singer Hilary Duff plays the title character in the interracial teen romance "Greta," which is shooting on location in New Jersey.

Duff's character is a waitress who falls for an ambitious cook (Evan Ross) at the restaurant where they work. But as their summer romance heats up, she has to overcome the concerns of her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn, Michael Murphy) about her boyfriend's criminal past.

The comic drama marks music-video veteran Nancy Bardawil's feature directing debut. Duff's feature credits include the "Cheaper by the Dozen" movie and "Agent Cody Banks."
