Arthur the King is a love letter celebrating the bond between man and dog. I recently had the opportunity to interview writer/producer, Mikael Lindnord. Mikael is the adventure racer whom this film was based from and raised Arthur with his family. It was an honor to speak with him and learn more about this amazing film. We discussed everything from life lessons, to adventure racing, working with Mark Wahlberg, and so much more!

Arthur The King Synopsis
Over the course of ten days and 435 miles, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur. Based on an incredible true story, ARTHUR THE KING follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes (Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Ali Suliman) for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. As the team is pushed to their outer limits of endurance in the race, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty and friendship truly mean.
