The Keylord
An original adventure,
and a magical drama like no other
A new short film completed
An uplifting story to usher in better times. A ray of hope.
Two wide-eyed girls escape their suffocating parents and journey on a supernatural adventure in the midst of a pandemic lockdown.
They enter a special fearful and timeless place that is the domain of the Keylord. The Keylord frightens and helps the girls find their place in the world.
The girls return home, stronger in their character and with a new understanding with their parents.
One of the girls discovers the powerful Silver Key to wield a new power.
The film takes the characters and audience through a journey from a time of excess (Pre-Covid), a time of severe lockdowns (Covid), and a hope of a new path of understanding (Post-Covid).
