Macbeth was meant to be exciting. It was meant to entertain. Let me rephrase those statements: Macbeth IS meant to be exciting. It IS meant to entertain. While there are many layers and complexities to the play, it still remains powerful and entertaining, and ruthlessly appealing. Macbeth was not meant for the scholar; it was meant for the casual play goer, the casual reader, the casual movie watcher.

Too often, scholars and directors get caught up in the complexities and lose that main goal of entertainment. When William Shakespeare was alive and writing, he was the equivalent to Steven Spielberg – a provider of entertainment. Sometimes that entertainment is more layered and complex. Other times it is pure pleasure and fun.

We even have a companion top selling study guide to go along with the movie! Study Guide Available in Paperback or Kindle on Amazon.

This feature film will be part of our Literature Matters series, MACBETH: THE RED KING, a unique re-telling of the classic play mixing the Shakespearean tragedy with a bit of real-world history and a focus on being able to be used as a classroom teaching tool as well as having a theatrical sensibilities for watching in theaters as well as VOD outlets such as Netflix and Amazon and Premium networks such as Showtime and HBO.

Our previous literature-based movie, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one 17 awards and featured many prominent actors (including two Oscar winners).

We have crowdfunded seven feature films and multiple other projects. Our movies have won more than 50 awards, played in dozens of festivals and received worldwide distribution on all major platforms as well as physical distribution in places like Walmart and Family Video. We have worked with two Academy Award winning actors and a bevy of well-known names and faces! Now is your chance to join the team at Koa Aloha Media and help us produce our next movie!

We currently have multiple movies in worldwide distribution (IMPACT EVENT and JEKYLL AND HYDE) and two others which are now winning awards and making the festival circuit (FORGOTTEN LEGACY and A BARD FOR THE AGES). FORGOTTEN LEGACY had its world premiere at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Additionally, our multi-award movie SOCIAL DISTANCE, entirely produced in quarantine, is in wide-release and available on all major platforms.  We have two additional releases scheduled for worldwide distribution – VIRUS OF THE UNDEAD and FORGOTTEN LEGACY.

These unique perks allow participants to be a part of our upcoming movie: MACBETH.

We are currently in the pre-production stage of the feature movie.

We have not yet cast the movie yet. When we do, our goal is to cast a variety of veteran actors mixed with a few well-known names to help sell the movie to distributors and festivals!
