Johnny and Bram played in a jazz and rhythm band, but the war forced Bram to flee, and he never returned.

DZOFILM asked us to test out their new 21mm and 40mm Vespid primes. We decided to go back to the roots of why we went into making movies; horses, knights and swords. With the help of Mick Durlacher and Any Dale Hippique we created this action packed sequence with exactly those elements.
