Weekly Kickstarter: King of Hearts, A Short Film
Luck. Some folks seem to have it all, some can’t ever catch a break. Longshot, that clown from X-Factor? That guy is lucky. What if the reason some of us always have a rain cloud over our head is that there’s some dude following us around dishing out bad luck as the justice of the gods. Hey, you don’t know. Think about it. Dynamic Films wants to explore the possibility, Christopher Nolan style. Check it out:
The film is about a supernatural being, Agent Reckless, who’s in charge of distributing bad luck amongst humans and must now force The Mob into the path of self-destruction.
The film is about the properties of luck and chance, not only in our daily lives, but in reality as a whole. Agent Reckless represents a less powerful version of God; while over seeing the destruction of a mob known as “The Zodiacs,” Reckless’ sympathy for humanity makes it difficult to execute his mission, and his victims.
It is a poetic film with many characters and many motivations, all leading to powerful consequences.
The film is an homage to directors Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino, combined with the influence of several other filmmakers, The King of Hearts will be a “Supernatural Western.”
Oh, and one more thing. I’ve been assured there will be an explosion. A real one. Not bad for an indie film. Boom.
