THE MAN FROM ROME

Writer-director: JAAP VAN HEUSDEN

Drama / Thriller

Filippo is an unusual mixture of detective, scientist, and priest. He comes to a small Dutch town, send by the Vatican to investigate, and probably debunk, a miraculous statue of the virgin Mary. Little does he know that he’ll find a grieving community that won’t allow him to take away their miracle. And an enigmatic, mute young woman – helps to crack down Filippo’s certainties about his calling as a priest and as human being.

Entertainment is not a bad word

In 2017, the couple founded the company Fiction Park – with the catchy motto: “Entertainment is not a bad word”.

Sincere thanks to Rüdiger Sturm for this portrait of Markus Halberschmidt and to GERMAN FILMS for approaching him. And to photographer Bernd Nörig for this this great photo.

In autumn 2016, Markus Halberschmidt and his partner Maria Tsigka spent a lot of time chilling on their living room sofa, watching an entire series. Then, suddenly, the couple said to each other: “Why don’t we do something like this?” … This joint realisation had its consequences, ultimately leading to up-and-coming German director Tilman Singer landing in the top 10 of the American cinema charts with his arthouse horror CUCKOO in August 2024.

👉 Here you can read the full little portrait

Looking forward to hopefully bring with our FICTION PARK more entertaining projects to the audiences in this world !
