The Flower of Battle | A Sword-Fighting Comedy Short Film

Once upon a time, in a far off made-up kingdom known as Italy, an itinerant swordsman named Fiore dei Liberi quests across the countryside in search royal employment, followed by his trusty apprentice Niccolo, a girl disguised as a boy.
We hope you enjoy this award winning short film!

Awesome action comedy piece. Well done!

[@Gedaly]

Thanks Eric! Really appreciate your support and glad you liked it 😁

[@SixDeadZeroHEMA]

This is exactly how I always pictured Fiore lmao

[@razeefilms]

lol yes! This character was very much inspired by what I imagined he was like after reading his intro to his book

[@simonmagnum7821]

Dude Fiore clearly took all points from Wisdom to max out Sword skill...

[@razeefilms]

🤣

[@jsquir1258]

Showed up for Beth May and stayed for the great short film. Bravo

[@Gedaly]

Thanks! :)

[@razeefilms]

one of our favorite lines too 😝

[@jesseharrold1812]

In case anyone browsing here doesn't know, the swordsman is named after and based off of a real guy! And "The Flower of Battle" was the sword fighting book he published somewhere in the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century. The swords and clothing here are off by a few centuries, but I really like this depiction of Fiore! From his writing you definitely get the sense that he was someone very aware of his talent and who wore his prejudices on his sleeve. There's another short film slstarrinh him directed by Alberto Mattea called "Fiore."

[@razeefilms]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! We transported Fiore a couple centuries because we thought he'd fit nicely in a classic hollywood swashbuckler type of setting. I've seen Alberto's short! Really enjoyed it

[@WarmVoice]

Incredible from start to finish. What a great piece of work. Congratulations to you all 😀

[@razeefilms]

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you!

[@thedtvdigest4142]

Classic! So many interesting elements which could be fleshed out to feature-length: the super--talented but clueless hero, his smarter but novice assistant, the fights, the running commentary on rules - all great stuff.

[@razeefilms]

Thank you!

[@omnibecca7479]

I loved this so much! My only complaint is that I was left wanting more! FANTASTIC!!!!

[@NicholasFoote]

Love the writing, acting, stunts, and music! So glad I got to see this in the theater with everyone laughing and enjoying it together!

[@Gedaly]

Thanks for coming! Glad you liked it!

[@morgancrowder884]

This was awesome! The little cheer after he threw the 2 swords had no right being as funny as it was. This was awesome! Not a single weak link. Costume, locations, acting, fights, it was all great!

[@Gedaly]

Thank you!!

historically, absolutely. We decided to transport Fiore into a different time to give it an old Hollywood swashbuckler / Princess Bride sort of vibe
