About

You and your best friend Bill are the greatest bards in the kingdom— but maybe not the brightest. Your hit song has insulted the king and now you're slated for execution. Luckily, Death is a connoisseur of most excellent music and has decided to give you a chance to escape your fate. Can you beat him at a game of life-sized Snakes and Ladders and live to sing another day? Shravan S K shows how. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu].
