The TV team started its journey in Bulgaria following the steps of Ludmila's novel "The Parchment Maze". Filming is made in Trigrad, Kurdjali, Perperikon, Sofia, Varna, Tessaloniki - Greece, where most of the events in the novel are happening.

Everything started in July, when producers from the TV channel got in touch with Ludmila and asked her to take part in the movie production. They were interested in her reaserch related to a small artefact, known as Orpheus Amulet. It turned out that Ludmila is among the fewer qurious people in the whole world, who followed the story of the object in several countries, and described it in details.

„We have started to exchange emails with the producers of the movie and for few months I had to write dozens of letters with historical topics, for findings and studies, which I have included in the novel "The Parchment Maze". I told the movie team some qurious stories and historical facts for our lands, for which they had no qlue. Gradually their idea to make a movie in Bulgaria became bigger. The movie covered not only facts and places related to the Amulet, but also topics as Orpheus, Tracians, old civilizations that lived in our lands, the alleged biblical flood, after which Black sea was formed and many others, to which I directed them. My work with them and the filming that we made together around Bulgaria were realy a pleasure. They were very professional and precise. For me was a challenge to be a part of a documentary movie, realized in English language only.
The most importat thing is that this will be a big chance for the world to learn good things about Bulgaria. The movie is expected to be on the TV in few months", said Ludmila Filipova.

"Her novels are ready movie scripts and do not step back as intrigue and mistery to "The Da Vinci Code" - precise, objective, historical , with correctlly stated facts, and excellant neat story ", are saying experts. In Ludmila's texts are interested several film houses, as well as some from Turkey.
