A Poem for Britain, A Contest for England

"4 of 5 stars overall, 5 for originality....make the world and the opportunities for animating beautiful sequences a selling point....keep it up!" --Jonny Perl for Rob Minkoff, director "The Lion King". Things have gone badly wrong in the 22nd century. The world has been all but destroyed by war, and now giant monsters are assaulting the last outposts of mankind. Dor and Skall head back in time to restore the balance, armed only with electric guitars, portable laser projectors and wit. These two romantically lost teens travel even to the gods' birth for answers. But the gods are as confused as they, being under a resented spell from their king that forbids having children. --Except half-human troll babies when the World Tree bridge opens every Halloween. Comps: "Pacific Rim" meets "Coco". "BARDS OF FANTASIA is a trippy time-travel adventure, following two teenage musicians back into the dark ages on a quest to change history. It’s more an energetic pop video than a heavyweight drama, and all the better for it. Bards is thoroughly researched and there is a steady drip-feed of mythology as the travelers encounter kings, giants, hermits, time-travelers, and wizards along their way. it’s a lively, colorful historical-legendary-fantasy-musical romp unlike anything else you’re likely to encounter." --David Hambling, author For schools, learn about 4 famous UK kings (Conor, Penda, Oswald, William II), the 3 Sorrows of Ireland, the 10 realms of the Norse WorldTree, and Odin’s 18 songs (recreated in rock opera form). Novella #2 also has thorough study questions for mastery of Dark Age UK. There are chapter-end prompts for over 20, 2-page research papers, plus vocabulary lists, and no less than 80 films are referenced. A 5-minute animated trailer can be seen on the amazon page. That's an excerpt from the 100min. Previs film I made where all scenes, dialogue, and music were tested for fluidity: it is not, however, a version for commercial release. Rather, it's aimed at a future director's use as a reference.
