IN the picturesque setting of Nerja, a captivating story unfolds against the back drop of ancient Rome. It’s the year 44BC, and we meet Brennus, a gladia tor on the run, relentlessly pursued by his slaver and accompanied by the enig matic Cyrus, his steadfast henchman. Little do they know that they are not the only hunters in this tale, some thing otherworldly, some thing beyond human com prehension, lurks in the shadows, tracking their ev ery move. This thrilling narrative forms the heart of a short film currently in produc tion, provisionally titled ‘Khepri’. The mastermind behind this cinematic endeavour is none other than Jose Ar jona, who takes on the roles of writer and director, steering the tale through
its twists and turns. The first scenes have been brought to life along side the Aguila Aqueduct in Nerja. In postproduction, this locale will be digitally trans formed to transport view ers back to the Roman era, while still retaining its un mistakable identity, as per Joe Arjona’s vision. The project boasts an in ternational cast and crew, working in the English lan guage. Among them is Mark Hunter, an actor renowned for his recent work on ‘The House of the Dragon’. Behind the cameras, the Weaver brothers, Elliot and Zander, take on the roles of directors of pho tography. Their expertise shines through their previ ous collaboration on the film ‘Cosmos’, available across various digital plat forms.
