a knight's war

For writer and director Matthew Ninaber, fantasy has been a passion of his since childhood. Even though he grew up the son of a preacher, he loved diving into magical worlds full of monsters, brave knights, and epic battles. Now, he gets to craft his own fantastical world with A Knight’s War, which is out now from Dread, Epic Pictures Group’s genre label. Starring his brother Jeremy Ninaber as a knight named Bhodie, Matthew Ninaber crafts a dark fantasy tale on an indie budget, which is a gorgeous feat.

In A Knight’s War, “A fearless knight named Bhodie braves a deadly realm to save the Chosen One’s soul. Facing witches, demons, and brutal foes, he discovers her return could ignite chaos and doom humanity.”

We spoke with Ninaber about his lifelong love of fantasy, the magic of creating lore, and constructing all of the film’s set by hand.
