Congratulations on the completion of your film, and I hope it is successful for you and your family, but I have to ask:
Why was it necessary to connect a murder mystery to Freemasonry? Was it because you knew it would get people worked up and be more likely to buy it? The murder victim was a banker, why not call the movie The Rotarian or The Kiwanian?
I haven't seen the movie, only the trailers. What I did see was a mention of the world's most powerful society, willing to die for secrets, mentions of hidden gold. All those things do is add fuel to the negative stereotypes.

Thank you, I spent the last lear of my life making the film and over 100 people worked on it in various capacities. I have been a Mason for a long time and I hope that this film will help the public understand the true nature of our ancient and noble organization.

I hope you enjoy it. we worked very hard to fill it with as much symbolism as possible.

I watched it tonight. It was an entertaining 90 minutes. Of course, there was "artistic license" taken with Masonic reality for the purpose of drama; I was able to set that aside. I don't want to include any spoilers for those who haven't seen it but plan to.
I will say that the ending was more satisfying than the ending of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. When I got to the end of that book, my reaction was "really? That's it? All that for this?"

The fact that my questions went unaddressed speaks volumes.

Bought it and watched it the next day. It was a good attempt however he did use artistic license when making it.
Overall if felt disappointing. The build up was good the climax was flat and the end "discovery" was a major let down. It's like they ran out of time and / or money.
