The Boy King


Experience the magic, the mystery and the romance of the Arthurian Legend from an entirely new perspective, showing the young King Arthur and the cursed Prince Lancelot as soul mates bonded by an act of compassion, only to be torn apart the the manipulative Guinevere.  

Inspired by the extraordinary photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron and the beautiful prose of both Tennyson and Mallory, now online, my silent mythological epic from film school:  "The Boy King"  (Parts 1 and 2) Starring Tyrus Cukavac and Sara Smaltz from Prep School Blues.  

Part One.  After drawing a mysterious sword from a stone, the Boy King Arthur undertakes an epic quest to release the soul of Prince Lancelot, trapped in the body of a hideous beast. On the way, he must contend with two mysterious witches. When he finally reaches the lair of the beast, will he be able to break the evil enchantment?



Part Two. Arthur has freed Lancelot from his beast form, but the machinations of the beautiful Lady Guinevere will destroy forever the spiritual connection between soul mates Arthur and Lancelot. Following a wedding and a betrayal, a terrible act of violence will bring about the end of a legend.
