A Knight's Tour

It is a post-apocalyptic world where nature has unapologetically moved on from the memory of human civilization. A young man, J.D., flees through the mountains bleeding from his arm. He stumbles upon a cabin in a clearing, and when he attempts to break in for shelter, he is captured by a man named Henry, a detached hermit who has been surviving by himself in the mountains for twelve years. Henry attempts to befriend J.D. out of loneliness, but J.D.'s checkered past as well as possible invaders from the outside world force their relationship to a head.

Director Statement

It was an absolute privilege to work on this project with so many passionate and talented people. My primary focuses when making this movie was capturing intense performances and creating tight character development, and I hope that shines through in the final cut.

I met Sara Razack, my producer, while we were students at California Institute of the Arts. She was probably one of the first people I talked to about A Knight’s Tour, and her unstoppable excitement and enthusiasm for the project has been the sole reason why the movie is complete today. She has been the yin to my yang, able to fill in for all of my faults and effortlessly guiding me through the most difficult minutiae of the producing process.

I have been friends with Darnel Powell, who plays J.D., since high school, and he has acted in many of my shorts throughout the years, including Rosewood, Two Rooms, and gunshot. Being my oldest collaborator, we have grown to deeply trust each other’s instincts, and his participation in A Knight’s Tour was fundamental to its success.

When I first met Joseph Price, who plays Henry, I had casted him in a short film titled The Escape, a thriller where a man wakes up to find himself buried underground in his car. Through the course of making The Escape, I found Joe to be one of the most dedicated and intense actors I’ve ever met, and I can’t possibly imagine anyone else playing the role of Henry.
