Our fantasy film tells the tale of a man hardened by war, a magically gifted young boy who is grieving the loss of his mother and the two learning to survive in the harsh world while being pursued by ruthless killers.
Responsibility - Despite their differences, the Warrior feels obligated to look after the Boy. Although they clash, the Warrior still wants to make sure the Boy stays safe.
Loss - Both the Warrior and the Boy have lost someone important to them. They both deal with that in their own ways - whether it's by silence or violence. The Warrior and the Boy are a grieving duo.
Perseverance - Times are tough and life doesn't seem to care if the Warrior and Boy are already down on their luck - it will still deal them another blow. The two must learn to overcome their obstacles, simply by not giving up.
Cory Greaves - Writer/ Producer: A lifelong fan of the fantasy genre, Cory is overseeing all aspects of our production.
Luke Hyde - Director: One of Luke's biggest strengths is his ability to tell stories visually. He is a dynamic creator of visually compelling stories.
Becky Boyfield - Production Manager: Organised and driven, Becky will make sure we don't get too distracted!
Muaaz Chowdhury - 1st Assistant Director: Muaaz shines in the midst of production. When everybody else is panicking, Muaaz comes up with the solutions.
Ruhan Qaiser - Director of Photography: Thoughtful in his creative endeavours, Ruhan will always suggest a great shot.
Beatrice Louise - Composer: Beatrice is a true talent. Her beautiful chords on the piano and vocals will stay with you for a while. Find out more about her musics: Bea Everett (Music) on Facebook and Instagram @beaeverettmusic.
Courtney Buabeng - Costume Supervisor: Reflective and precise, Courtney will be making sure our cast looks the part.
Making a film is not cheap! We want our film to be visually stunning and to achieve this, we have to ensure we can cover the costs of the perfect locations, costumers for our actors, etc. Music will also play a critical role in creating the right atmospheric feel for the Warrior and the Boy's world.
