Belladonna: Who were you in your last life?

We are a young Australian film Production Company called Glass Kingdom (www.glasskingdom.com.au) committed to making a difference through our film projects. Recently we have embarked on this amazing adventure of making a feature film called Belladonna which is a co-production between Australia and Poland. It's a contemporary love story that travels centuries. It starts in the 15th Century in Europe, where a couple falls in love and they meet once again in the 21st Century in Australia 2008.

We have recently finished shooting the 15th Century footage in Poland and are in pre-production for the 21st Century. I have always been fascinated by the topic of reincarnation and the questions that arise of "Why am I here? Why have I attracted these people into my life?" and continue to repeat the same patterns.

The idea that this is not the only life I think decreases the amount of panic fear and tensions that a lot of us carry.

Michael Newton explores this topics in his books which have helped a lot of people make sense of what's driving their life. Our intention with Belladonna is to tell a story in a beautifully crafted contemporary way that visits the same territory, and for a suspended moment in time gives the space to ask the question "Who was I in my past life?"

To see how we are progressing visit www.belladonnathemovie.com and read our blog which reveals the behind-the-scenes world.

We have also decided to record our experiences of making this projects from financing to post production for all the other filmmakers who are also wanting to work in alternative paradigms.
