Hero is a story about a young woman who has come to the edge of an ancient forest in search of a legendary sword. It is a story about hidden things and scary things. Of mysterious things and delightful ones. It is a story of courage. It is a story about growing up.
Hero is a story that begs young audiences to believe in themselves, and asserts that within every one of us is the power to reach out and change the future, and that anybody can save the princess if they fight hard to do so.
Hero will be screening at festivals and conventions throughout 2022!
