The Prince centers on a flailing addict named Parker , the black sheep of a powerful American dynasty.

It's a wild ride of a polemic that asks larger questions about American political power.

The idea for the movie did not originate with David Mamet , but director and producer Cameron Van Hoy , who started in the industry as a teen.

David Mamet said he was asked to write a movie about Hunter Biden .

But director David Van Hoy says that’s not the film they wound up making.

Haze starred in Sound of Freedom , which explored a sex-trafficking rescue mission in Colombia .

Van Hoy : "It was very important for me not to make it political".

The Prince is only Van Hoy’s second feature, coming off of the 2021 thriller Flinch.

The film is about fictitious characters in a fictitious world that is examining truths and themes that do exist today , as we can observe, but have existed for a very long time.

The movie is now seeking distribution, hoping to hit the film-festival circuit.
