ART BEGINS WITH HISTORY

About

Our mission is to educate and entertain through movies and TV series.

We produce unique series that are united by a common concept: all our projects are entertaining in their setting, but they are also historical in their texture.

We want this kind of content to capture audiences around the world, so we want to invite world stars and talented film industry debutants to play the main roles in our projects. They are the ones who should become the providers of our ideas.

In 5th century BC, The Babylonian Empire captures the ancient city of the Solomon King.

Having lived his whole life in Babylonian captivity, 13-year-old Ezra meets a traveler at the port who talks about free warriors - Jews from the island of Elephantine. This changes his life forever.
Ezra organizes an underground movement to reclaim what has always belonged to his people - wealth and freedom. Having made a mistake, the people of Ezra are in danger of death.
In a world where one man stands against an entire empire, only a cabbalistic ancient prophecy can help make his dream come true.

The main task of the Red Thread is education through entertainment. School textbooks do not always fully tell the stories of certain periods. But our project will be able to captivate the viewer and transfer him directly from the sofa to 2500 years ago. Through a beautiful, vibrant story, we want to tell in great detail the history of Babylon, Media and the Jewish people.


Given that there has never been a project about such an ancient history of the Jews, you can be sure that this picture will arouse genuine interest among Jews from all over the world. It will help to understand everything and learn about the first fighter for Jewish self-identity, Ezra, who predetermined the way of life for all Jews on Earth.


„Red string“ has the potential to become a national project for Israel, which will be recommended for the classroom viewings.

As a child, I adored fairy tales and myths: distant lands, ancient civilizations, heroes who are ready to fight evil to the bitter end in the name of great goals...


The 12 Labors of Hercules, the Golden Fleece, the battle of David and Goliath — these legends literally made me fall in love with history. Then, of course, there was a teenage period of voracious reading of Tolkien. And the moment when I realized that I was ready to create my own story was my acquaintance with the Game of Thrones. I immediately knew that I wanted to come up with a series based on real events. As a Jew, at a conscious age, I began to actively study the history of my people. And so, as soon as I learned the story of Ezra, I understood: this is it!

An unfairly forgotten, bright and courageous hero, whose fate is important for all Jews, and one of the greatest periods in the formation of the entire Jewish society. Almost immediately, I began to work on the idea to create what I had been preparing for all my life.

But creativity is not my only goal. I would like to replenish the lack of projects that can tell Jews around the world about their real history. There are many films about modern Israel, but not a single film that tells about the origins of Judaism. And our team is ready to fix it. Thanks to the development and accessibility of the latest technologies, we will be able to make our project a reality. Computer graphics are an integral part of any film or series these days. It will help us recreate the ancient world with precision and, of course, save the filming budget.

I have lived in Berlin almost all my life. My grandchildren and I went to the Pergamon Museum several times, where the Ishtar Gate of Babylon is located. Every time we came to this exhibit, I was struck by the size and history behind these gates. I could not even imagine that I would get the chance to write a story about Babylon. Therefore, when I received an offer to start the project, I did not even hesitate and immediately started working on it. Any screenwriter is first and foremost a researcher, so I spent a lot of time studying the history of Babylon and the Jewish people during the Babylonian Captivity. During the process of researching the history for the first season, I realized that there was enough material for 5 or even 6 seasons
