Our Story

A film by visionary storyteller Gita Farid

Produced by Mike Mahoney & Rick Dyer

Three women, complicated love, changed history. Brought back from the Dead to tell their storiesYou decide.

Tudor England, Anne Boleyn: the ambitions of a noble family replace a Spanish Catholic Queen with a charming, wily young woman who promises the King a son and sends his head spinning with ardour to be with her. But she loses her head!

Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark: Ophelia in love, besotted, rejected, how does he see it? Was Ophelia, herself motherless, with child when she was swallowed by the rushing river?

Eva Braun: from Ditz to Blitz, did she really end it all to be with Hitler, or was there nowhere to go after the Third Reich?

We bring history and the stories of the Holocaust to life.

The filmmaker, Gita Farid, has interviewed Holocaust survivors and extensively researches this subject to make her films authentic. From life's slow erosion of humanity to the stories of wonderment and escape, it engages the mind and soul.

The Impact: 3 women who tantalised Fate.

Nothing will stop us from producing this film! We are aggressively pursuing funding from as many sources as possible. We have a highly motivated production team in place and are well into pre-production on this project. Everybody on this film, from the actors, costume designers, to the producers, associates and crew are excited about this film! 

The cinematography will be sweeping in its range, spanning 3 historic eras. From the swirling grey pastel mists of the icy river where Ophelia sinks, we are taken through to the sumptuous, lush and vibrant velvets and gems of the banquets of Henry VIII, to the washed-out sepias of a concrete bunker in Berlin, of a sickly Adolf Hitler and a tired Eva Braun as they take their last poison to oblivion.  

Your contributions will be of immense help in creating a luxurious work of art. The more we can raise the higher the quality of the film will be,

What We Need & What You Get

We are seeking the funds to turn this project into a real work of art. This is a period piece designed to be exquisitely rich in color and texture and story-telling. We aim to educate and entertain!

If we did not have the cojones to ask for $150,000, we would not have the cojones to make this film.

A great deal of our funding will be for costumes and settings for the historic periods we are portraying. We are getting a great deal of volunteer support from professional cast and crew who really believe in this production and are doing everything that they can to make this come alive!

If we do not meet our fund raising goal, we will begin production on a trailer or section of the film and use that to further promote the project to film industry backers.

What you get in return is the satisfaction of being part of the creation of an artistic masterpiece. And, check out the perks; you could get a personalized video air kiss from Gita!!!
