Knightfall
Role: Director // Writer
Job: Feature film proof of concept trailer
“The Evil Dead meets The Princess Bride”
Writing the screenplay and creating this proof of concept trailer for Knightfall with my buddy Peter Appleyard was an absolute joy. We poured everything we love about trashy movies into the script and concept trailer. The cast and crew were all legends!
The pitch:
“Knightfall is an independent Fantasy-Action Feature Film which is currently in pre-production. The film will blend the swords and sorcery of The Princess Bride with the all out blood and guts action of Evil Dead 2. The Knightfall team is a group of award-winning filmmakers who are hell bent on creating a thrilling fantasy action feature film.
The team have created a proof of concept trailer to showcase the vision and passion behind the Knightfall feature film concept. The film will be a balls-to-the-wall action-adventure set within a unique fantasy world populated by heroic characters battling vile monsters.
Creators Ben Campbell and Peter Appleyard have written a high-octane screenplay which is unyielding in its ambition and scope yet employs an elementary plot driven by the characters trying to survive the horrors of Oubliér Forest.”
