Description

The thin line between good and evil, courage and cowardice, heroes and monsters is old as humanity itself. While there are many modern retellings of biblical classics like David and Goliath or the death of Saul and Jonathan, few have explored the timeless truths and universal struggles of the David and Saul story. KINGS: A David and Saul Epic is most appropriate for ages 12+. The five-episode dramatic series is written by Caleb G. Brown, a script doctor and writing instructor who honed his craft with Act One and Lin Pictures (now Rideback). His most recent screenplay credit is Blue Ridge (2020).
