Of Monsters and Men is a fantasy/action screenplay about misinformation, identity, and redemption written by Domenic Porcari.  Logline: Framed for a regicide he failed to prevent, a disgraced and disfigured knight attempts to clear his name by hunting an elusive shapeshifter that seems to be just as much a scapegoat as himself.

Of Monsters and Men follows just such a person: ONDRAEDAN, a young knight who is framed for regicide, accused of murdering the king he swore to protect.  Left disillusioned and physically disfigured by the fallout, he is offered absolution in exchange for a completing a daunting task: hunt and kill an elusive shapeshifter that plagues a local town. 

Ondraedan accepts, but as his hunt evolves, he begins to realize that this shapeshifter might not be quite the monster he's been told, and that he himself might be more of a monster than he thought.  With time running out and his life and honor on the line, Ondraedan wrestles with both internal and external demons as the line between man and monster continues to blur both in his surroundings, and within himself.

Laced with themes of Misinformation, Identity, and Redemption, the story asks what will happen to our character he fails his task?  But more importantly, what will he be if he succeeds? 

Throughout the film, Ondraedan is forced to journey past the edges of the known to a world that challenges his ideas of reality, morality, and his very sense of self.  As such, the tone and style of the film harkens to some of the great frontier films of the past and present where characters are pushed past their mental and physical limits to discover a new part of themselves.  

But unlike many films, Of Monsters and Men does not leave its audience lost in the darkness of a fallen world or in the emptiness of depraved souls.  It is a story of redemption, and thus beauty is woven throughout its brutality through inspired camera work, a heavy emphasis on nature, and a visual poetry unmatched in most action films today.
