The Mirror of Amun-Ra from Shattered Star Productions is a marvel!
Director Jonathan Rogers displays his love for pulp storytelling in the debut story for Cleopatra Pryce. This is a tight short story rendered beautifully onscreen as a short film.
Cleopatra Pryce fits within the classic adventure genre of Indiana Jones. She’s got a plucky – “can do,” attitude which is thrown into opposition with the bad guys who want the mirror for pure greed.
The Mirror of Amun-Ra is vintage storytelling with timeless heroism. I look forward to seeing more of Cleopatra Pryce on the screen and on the page.
Jonathan Rogers recently announced there will be a bluray release of Mirror coming soon, which promises to be as grand as the film itself.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
“When you think of an ‘archaeologist,’ you likely picture a dashing, globetrotting figure who explores booby-trapped tombs and recovers dazzling treasures. In the year 1930, a young woman named Cleopatra Pryce wants to be that… desperately. She dreams of making a world-changing discovery that would place her in the annals of mankind’s most famous and adored adventurers. But so far, none of Cleo’s meager quests have seen results.
She now has a new hope: an ancient Egyptian mirror that, according to legend, was forged by a wicked Pharaoh to imprison the souls of his enemies. After being lost for centuries, its final resting place is within Cleo’s grasp. If she can find and deliver this relic in one piece, it will be the big break for which she has waited her entire life.
But danger awaits, as Cleo is not the only one seeking the fabled mirror. And if she can survive the impending confrontation with these foes, Cleo might learn a valuable lesson about the most beautiful and priceless treasure of all…”
