Hello!

Apologies for not updating the blog for ages, but I have been away to Pyreenes in Spain, hiking for 45 days from Atlantic to Sea... so I was pretty in the middle of nowhere all the time.

Let's start with the good news:

All Secrets has won the main prize at the Quest Europe Film Festival in Zielona Gora, Poland



Also there will be a screening of the movie 26th of September at Bartoszki Film Festival in Tarnobrzeg, POLAND



And a quick picture from my meeting with Jacek Dukaj, the well known sci-fi writer, whose work inspired me to write the script for "All Secrets"



And the bad news ? There is none! I'll keep you posted with more news soon hopefully.

Thanks to recent victory at Wroclaw more screenings of All Secrets is due. Check out the "Where can I see the movie" Section, I will be updating it, whenever there is a screening.

"All Secrets" has won the main prize - the golden KANewka at, the 10th KAN Independent Film Festival in Wroclaw Poland.

I'd like to thank all the people involved in making the movie for this success.

In Madrid I had an opportunity to finally meet Ralph Zurmuhle in person. Ralph is the author of the music in All Secrets and his amazing compositions brought a life to many of my scenes. Have a look at his website if you like his work or if you want to purchase a CD: Ralph Music

"All Secrets" will be a part of Official Selection of KAN Independent Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. More information and program of the festival will be announced soon.

As you know, the script of "All Secrets" was inspired by a small fragment of a big novel, by wellknown polish writer, Jacek Dukaj. The novel "Czarne Oceany" ("Black Oceans") is being published again as a new edition by Wydawnictwo Literackie.



Here is some info from the press release (unfortunately for polish readers only)

I'm happy to announce that Ralph Zurmühle has granted me permission to use some of his amazing compositions in my movie!



Ralph Zurmühle was born in Zürich (Switzerland) in 1959 and holds a Science of Law degree from the University of Zürich. At the early age of five Ralph discovered his natural talent for the piano and began private lessons. He studied classical music and jazz until the age of twenty. He later collaborated in several jazz-rock groups in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In 1986 he started composing music for film, theater and multimedia. His most recent projects are L'horitzó (Metrònom, Barcelona, and International Biennial of Contemporary Art, Almería, Spain, 2006) and the documentary Norró (National Spanish TV La2, Spain, 2006).

In 1999 Ralph moved to Catalonia (Spain) where he currently resides in a village at the base of Montserrat. He released 3 CDs composed for piano, and performed numerous solo piano concerts throughout Spain. He also collaborated with several musicians, among them Rosa Zaragoza.
He is presently completing various projects:

* Multimedia project "5OBRES" with Manuel Solà
* Documentary with Pere Herms


You can listen to his music at

That's it for now - I will be back with the updates soon!

As I previously mentioned, the story is inspired by a fragment of a bigger novel by Polish writer Jacek Dukaj.

Jacek Dukaj is a well known Polish sci-fi writer, author of the short story "The Cathedral", which was made into animation by Tomasz Baginski in 2002. The animation became known worldwide after receiving many awards including Oscar nomination.

However Jacek Dukaj's work hasn't been published yet outside Poland, so he remains unknown for the UK readers. All secrets is inspired by a very small fragment of his novel "Czarne Oceany", which you can find on Jacek's official website.

I'd like to thank Jacek for his support.

All secrets will be filmed on a HD digital camcorder, but we are going to use M2 Cinelens adapter from Redrock Microsystems LLC. For the last few months I've been gathering 35mm lenses and now I'm ready to go.



M2 lens adapter is the best choice if you want a proffesional cinematic look of your digital footage. Check out the Redrock Website
