Project Type: Film

One film. Two timelines.
Seven people and a dead empress who is more alive than half the cast.

An ensemble film about filmmaking, falling in love, and running out of time. Mainstream entertainment for an international theatrical audience. Color and in its historical interior, as dark, romantic, and irresistible as anything cinema has ever thought about women who were larger than the world they lived in.

It is set in 2026 Vienna/Los Angeles — and simultaneously in 1890s Vienna, on the Hungarian plains, in the Vienna State Opera, and on the shore of Lake Geneva. On one side: the present. A Hollywood production inside a Jugendstil hotel, coming apart at the seams. On the other: the outrageous demise of the Habsburg Empire.
That's funny. That's dangerous.
