Production

Director Bjorn Anderson decided on his 26th birthday to quit his job and pursue his dream of filmmaking. Instead of paying to go to film school, he began work on his first film, Warrior's End. The production utilized the help of the Seattle Knights for many of the expansive sword battle scenes. The cast and crew worked on a volunteer basis which allowed the film to achieve its epic look on a limited budget.

Release

The film had its premiere June 7, 2009 at Seattle's True Independent Film Festival, where it was given the Mt. Rainier Award.
