204 – King of Kings is a Masterclass in Immersive Storytelling

Did I just watch a Bible movie and really, really . . . enjoy it? I guess so, and I’m quite happy about that.
I am continuing my roundup of movies that have come out this year which are based on books for children. King of Kings was released in the spring by Angel Studios and is a creative adaptation of The Life of Our Lord, a biography of Jesus of Nazareth that was privately written by Charles Dickens for his children and was not published until the last family member had died.
Find out why I think this was one of the best book adaptations of the year and what you can learn from this film about how to create immersive storyteling experiences for children.
