Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 8 days on a shoestring budget, with the King Lear scenes performed in a real community theater that had no idea they were filming.
The film mirrors Lear's three-act structure: division, storm, and redemption through loss—Stephen and Jack literally walk through each phase together.
