Welcome to the world of Professor Samuel King. A quasi-Victorian Steampunk land of heroes, villains, romance and the supernatural.

'Alchemy' , the first Professor King story,  began life as a stage musical composed by legendary rock composer and keyboard player Clive Nolan.

After a number of test shoots, a feature film is now in pre-production with shooting due to take place throughout 2025

Through this site you can follow our progress as we work towards the main shoot, then enter post-production and finally the film's release.  You can also get involved by becoming an investor.

The Girl  I Was    This  scene was shot in advance of the rest of the film as a demonstration of how we can use  the Unreal Engine software to build vast worlds like Steampunk London on a minimal budget. We shot this sequence  entirely in a green screen studio. See the behind the scenes video on the News page. 

Music  at the Mead Hall  

Clive Nolan recently hosted the first live music event at his brand new Mead Hall. This comprised music from Clive's musicals as well as from his band back catalogue.

It was here that we launched the idea of the Society of Alchemists - a way for  fans and supporters to join in with the project and help us towards production.

Read about how to join us below.
