Campaign description

Dear Contributors, Friends of our film,

We sincerely thank you for completing the first stage of our journey together. Thanks to your generosity and commitment, we have achieved the first part of our shared goal - the film The Dream of Saint Maximilian. Your support enabled us not only to finalize key activities but also to lay strong foundations for the entire production.

In the first stage, we managed to complete a number of essential steps necessary to create a professional and safe film. We allocated the funds raised for:

• Developing and finalizing the screenplay,
• Preparing full film documentation,
• Conducting test shoots,
• Production preparations, including casting actors,
• Establishing a detailed shooting schedule,
• Signing contracts with creators and actors.

We are also happy to announce that, thanks to your support, we were able to complete exceptional shoots in Rome - the place where Saint Maximilian Kolbe spent his youth. It was in this city, rich in historical traces, that his spirituality was shaped, which later had a profound impact on his entire life. These scenes are not only indelible marks of history, but also a profound starting point for our story.

Very soon, you will be able to watch excerpts from these unique materials - from Rome and beyond! (Links to the excerpts will be available soon). This is only the beginning, but we can already say that the film is taking on a clear form, and your support has been - and continues to be - crucial.

Today, with a sense of responsibility and joy, we are moving on to Stage II: Filming. This is the time when our story is shaped. During this stage, we will shoot both documentary and feature scenes which will require appropriate set design, a professional crew, and creative collaboration. We want every frame to convey the emotions associated with St. Maximilian's life and his mission.

Why is Stage II so important?

It is in this part of the production that all our previous preparations will finally appear on screen. In the film, we tell a story that not only reveals St. Maximilian's spiritual journey but also has the power to inspire and strengthen faith in all of us.

We ask for your support in Stage II

We need your help so that filming can move forward. Your support will allow us to finance:

• The production of documentary footage in the most important places associated with the life of Saint Maximilian,
• The production of feature scenesthat will give the film depth and emotional impact,
• Set design - so that the places we portray become tangible fragments of history,
• The involvement of a professional crewwho will take care of every detail of the production.

Stage III of the fundraising - Post-production

After filming is completed, we will still need to create the movie as a whole. This will include editing, color correction, graphic effects, and the soundtrack. Only then will all our efforts be fully reflected in the finished film. Therefore, it is important that we not only shoot the film but also to carry out full post-production.

We encourage you to continue supporting our fundraiser, as Stage III will be crucial to finalizing the project.For this reason, we value your involvement in each phase, as every contribution makes a huge difference!

We wholeheartedly ask for your continued support. Every bit of help, even the smallest, is a step towards completing the film that will change the lives of many and present the figure of Saint Maximilian Kolbe in a way worthy of his martydom.

Support our project and become a co-creator of this extraordinary story.

Together we can make it come alive and accessible to future generations.

Thank you for your hearts, for your kindness, and for being part of this unique story.
