Hail to the King

Based on the Tragedy of MacBeth, this short film follows Mac's (MacBeth) descent into madness after being promised fame, fortune, and invincibility from all weapons made by men. Yet the empire he falsely acquires, still is threatened to crumble to the ground at the hands of those tired of his tyranny.
