De Brocas

Length: One Hour Pilot

Genre: Historical War Drama

Watch Concept Trailer

Logline: A medieval French family of warhorse breeders loyal to the English crown struggles to preserve their livelihood, legacy, and family during the war between their countries. Based on a true story, the family will quietly rise in influence and become beautifully woven into the tapestry of England’s history.

Overall, De Brocas presents a compelling historical television pilot with a rich story with the potential for a full series worth of content. The pilot introduces how subsequent episodes will play out beautifully. The tone is also consistent throughout. The characters are compelling and dynamic, with their own distinct motivations.” – Austin Film Festival

We really enjoyed this thrilling, historical work. The descriptions are beautiful, even when describing the horrific realities of medieval combat… This is a very effective pilot.” – Barnstorm Fest
