The Cost of the Crown had its premiere at Leavesden Short Film Festival late last month, and it won an award.
The film, which was directed and co-written by Moe Acharki, was shown to an audience of Warner Bros. Studios staff and came away with an award for best cinematography. And it really is a beautiful film!
It’s a fantastic start for the film. We now obviously hope will go and get a few more screenings in the near future.
The Cost of the Crown is an historical drama, following a king as a mob of his angry followers try to knock down his door. It takes place over just a few minutes.
Here’s the synopsis:
With his kingdom in tatters and his subjects baying for his blood, the king hides in his throne room praying for a last-minute reprieve. But with the mob at the door, who can he trust?
We made the film at Nu Boyana studios in Sofia, Bulgaria, and shot it at more or less the same time as The Haunted House Hotel. It’s exciting to finally have both films out in the wild.
