The Quickener - A Medieval Rap Film
In plague-ridden medieval England two young sculptors' newest work is rejected. They're not just broke, they're in debt to a brutal moneylender. With the Whisperer breathing down their necks and the Black Death wrecking havoc throughout the land how can they escape doom? With 100% of the dialogue spoken in rap and poetic verse, ‘The Quickener’ is a one-of-a-kind period drama shot on location in the West Midlands, England.
