Set in a magical world that children still dream of, JUSTIN AND THE KNIGHTS OF VALOUR is a story about the determination of a kid to fulfill his dream. It is a story about friendship, honour and courage. A heart-warming story filled with adventure, action and fun.
JUSTIN (Freddie Highmore) lives in a kingdom where bureaucrats rule and knights have been ousted. He dreams of being a knight but his father, REGINALD (Alfred Molina), the chief counsel to the QUEEN (Olivia Williams), wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become a lawyer. In need of guidance, Justin visits his GRANDMOTHER (Julie Walters), who tells him the story of his Grandfather, SIR ROLAND. Sir Roland was the noblest knight, who protected the Kingdom until he was betrayed and killed by the evil SIR HERACLIO (Mark Strong). Against his father’s wishes, Justin runs away in search of his dream and begins his quest to become a knight.
At The Broken Eagle Inn he meets TALIA (Saoirse Ronan), a beautiful, feisty and independently-minded girl, who shares his aspirations and whom he eventually falls for. He also meets a quirky wizard called MELQUIADES (David Williams) who tells him where he can find the magical abbey where the Knights of Valour once trained.
At the abbey, he is mentored by three ancient monks. BLUCHER (James Cosmo) instructs him in knightly ways; LEGANTIR (Charles Dance) teaches him there is still magic in the world; and BRAULIO (Barry Humphries) who creates magical contraptions, and is responsible for GUSTAV the gas-powered wannabe dragon crocodile.
Justin, though an unlikely candidate for knighthood, is determined to pursue his ideals. Called upon to prove himself when Sir Heraclio and his minions, lead by SOTA (Rupert Everett), return and threaten the kingdom.
Once again, autumn and winter have been very busy, recording and producing many exciting projects:
As is custom here at Imagine Sounds & Visions, we’ve been busy working away on music, sound recording and post-production for numerous children’s digital books, textbooks, readers, etc. for major publishers such as Edelvives, Macmillan, Anaya and BYME, amongst others. Always fun and enlightening to do!
Other children’s projects include SFX soundtrack creation on “MegaDani” the new “Dancing English” production for Spain’s Nº 1 tween edutainment artist/project as well as music production and SFX recording for Stepping On Stage‘s production of “Smike”.

Finally, Juan has been lending his voice to numerous film, documentary and corporate ventures: upcoming blockbuster “Justin and the Knights of Valour”, Danone, Astoria Time Sharing, Uponor and I.E.S.T.Q.M. documentaries: eLogistics and Camp David.
During the last few days and for the third year running, we have been busy working on sound design and post-production as well as voiceover recordings for idents and videos to be projected and broadcast at the awards ceremony of the “Seminci: Valladolid International Film Festival”. 20th to the 27th of October.
Juan has been doing some ADR recording for the upcoming science-fiction feature film, The Cosmonaut.
Directed by Nicolas Alcala and produced by Carola Rodriguez and Bruno Teixidor, The Cosmonaut is the first feature-length project by Riot Cinema Collective and is notable for its use of crowdfunding and Creative Commons license in its production. Apart from being the first Spanish crowdfunded film, it will also be the first movie in the world that will put all the filming’s raw footage at the audience’s disposal. www.thecosmonaut.org / imdb.com
