Description
Hi, I am a filmmaker and a fan of the DFK universe.
DFK has a unique and ambitious lore/backstory attached to the defi-tainment game. I strongly believe that motion pictures are the best form of presenting stories and representing projects. For this reason I would apply for GRANT to make a 8-10 minutes live action motion picture short film based on the DFK Lore and the gameplay. This short film will be presented on the DFK’s Youtube channel and on different social media platforms.
Logline: When brutally injured in a fight defending Gaia’s Tear, the first Knight of Adelynian must battle himself, finding answers to who he is. He meets a Boy and they become friends. They journey through a crumbling Kingdom in the midst of rebellion. But the Boy has a secret, one that may change the fate of both their lives and the Kingdom’s forever.
The story world will be placed in the realm of Serendale. All costume, props will match the game. (Synopsis attached)

Team Information
I am Peter. Writer, editor, director. Based in Budapest and London. Telling stories is my passion whether it is a comedy, art house drama or a sci-fi series. I have a well known production company and a VFX House attached to the project.
Requests from DFK Team
I need constant consultancy with the DFK Lore team to write the story thats fit. I will need creative feedback and discussions to improve the story and the characters. Every detail should fit into the DFK word. I want to serve the community not just to realise my dream.
As we go pre-production a few designs, graphical elements, inputs would be nice to have from you to maintain the overall coherent of the story word.
Connection to DFK Game and DFK Blockchain
This short film tells an emotionally and visually striking story. It is a magical experience for the audience. I strongly believe that if well marketed the short film can reach one hundred thousand online viewers.
