King Baby

DATE: Monday, August 11
TIME: Video On Demand
VENUE: Digital Screening Room

In the crumbling ruins of a forgotten European castle, two men enact a bizarre fantasy of royal grandeur—one ruling as King, the other serving him faithfully. But their makeshift court is thrown into eerie disarray when they craft a silent, staring Queen from wood. Her presence—blank, unyielding, and impossible to ignore—begins to disturb the fragile hierarchy they’ve created.

What begins as a satirical, camp-tinged fairytale slowly decays into a nightmarish exploration of dominance, delusion, and desire. As visions of dream demons invade the King’s sleep and frustrations fester in the Servant’s silence, the Queen becomes a haunting mirror—reflecting their unspoken fears, suppressed urges, and twisted need for control. Playful, perverse, and chillingly funny, KING BABY asks: What happens when fantasy becomes rule—and the kingdom stares back?
