But Friday the 13th was nothing by lucky for the California Freemasons. Director Royal and his celebrated cast left hundreds of Freemasons and non-Freemasons walking out of the Masonic Theater Grand Lodge of Freemasonry with excitement and anticipation for the film’s nationwide theatrical run which will begin in December.

Royal’s recent interview with Greg Stewart from Masonic Traveler examined personal aspects of why and how the film was made.

Masonic Traveler (MT): Why did Johnny Royal make this movie about Freemasonry?

Johnny Royal (JR): In 2010, as I was going through the rituals of the Blue Lodge degrees, I felt a calling to share the depth of the emotional experience I had while going through the work. My dad died when I was 14 and I searched for answers and until I encountered Freemasonry, I was looking for answers on spirituality. The film is the hero’s quest and is a love letter to our fraternity.

Expanding on the hero’s journey play out in the Masonic traditions, Royal told Stewart, “The idea of the hero’s quest in the film aligns with the thinking of Joseph Campbell. In Masonic rituals we have all of these characters who represent heros and villains. This leads to the idea that we have the individual ability to either be the hero or villain in our daily lives.”

With such success, “33 & BEYOND: THE ROYAL ART OF FREEMASONRY” will soon be featured in several cities, including: Nashville, TN, Los Angeles, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Guthrie, OK, Alexandria, LA, Charleston, SC, Philadelphia, PA, New York, NY, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI, and dozens more.
