The Fortune Teller of the Golden Lane

A three-film trilogy set in Prague, accompanied by a twenty-one-piece spinoff constellation. Written and directed by Francisco Javier. Built around French and British cinema glass of the late 1950s and early 1960s, on modern sensors, deployed in the city where the story lives.

The studio

What we make

GLADiiUM Films develops, finances, and produces feature films and serialized short-form content. Our work emphasizes rigorous craft, singular voice, and documented optical lineage. Production discipline favors small unit photography, locations as their actual selves, and pre-production as production.

The studio is based in Los Angeles. Czech-territory production is conducted in partnership with ROUNDBOX Productions, our Prague-incorporated production representation. The Fortune Teller trilogy is shot under that partnership.

The first slate is the Fortune Teller trilogy. Future projects are in development.

Working principles

Documented lineage. Optical kit researched, sourced, and verified at academic-grade rigor.
The city is the set. When a script names a real location, the production shoots that location.
Small unit, deep crew. Compact unit photography with the deepest possible head-of-department craft.
Slate, not single. Features and short-form developed and financed as one creative ask.
