Red Oak
Productions is in preparation to launch feature movie
The Composer, a tale inspired by a true story.
Synopsis:
THE
COMPOSER, a true-life story based on one man’s creative struggle
through his triumphant journey, which propelled him into fighting when
challenged by aggressing forces.
This
story takes place in Olympic city of Sarajevo, a city referred by many
as the Jerusalem of Europe during the four-year-long siege of the early
1990s. Facing a brutal enemy intent on extinguishing the soul and
culture of his people, an artist must choose to lay down his baton and
take up a rifle.
Armed
with little more than fierce love of country and their spiritual unity,
he and his fellow citizens, Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike,
confront the aggressors head-on while the world stood by.
His
experience reshapes his identity and clarifies his mission - to
trade-in his rifle for a conductor’'s baton in order to promote
unity
on earth by awaking the spirit of humanity through the universal
language of music.
The
melody and the compelling act of collective spiritual unity is the
conspiring essence of the power that drove the outlook to accomplish
the impossible, which few could only discover. Was the composer able to
overcome the insurmountable odds, or did he fall victim to the war that
surrounded his artistic soul.
"To the all brave men and women
who fought to defend
the city of Sarajevo and civilization itself during the siege of
1991-1995."
