Meet the cast

“When I first heard the story of a king, a queen, and her missing treasure in my little town of Vero Beach, I was hooked. The more I delved into the history and listened to the locals’ tales of treasure hunting, the more I knew this story had to be told. The Queen’s Jewels is the result of years of research, imagination, and a bit of my own treasure hunting, and I can’t wait to bring this adventure to the big screen.”

-Joshua Friedman, Writer + Executive Producer + Director

This is where I should be.'"

  • "I will say Linda is one of the kindest, most caring producers i’ve ever worked with and it’s very rare that you meet a producer who takes care of their people just for the sake of taking care of their people. We’re so lucky to have her–and so grateful for her."

    Katherine McNamara

  • "The Goonies or Indiana Jones or National Treasure, I mean, these are films that do so much. And then I think that this is where our film gets a lot of that inspiration. TQJ is kind of an ode almost or a letter to that type of film."

    Carson Rowland

  • "I am so proud of Josh. There aren’t a lot of original stories out there right now. Everyone’s trying to remake something and I feel like Josh wrote something original. What I love about TQJ is this is the kind of story that could happen in real life. It could happen to any family at any place. It was very realistic. A very grounded story."
