The Secret Order (2016)

The Secret Order follows the lives of 4 main characters (Vincent, Maximillian, Nadiya, and Zakari) all are members of the same secret society, based in Berlin, Germany (with branches all over the Western world). Our protagonists deal with their every day public life and personal conflicts, as well as coming to terms with their duties and position within The Secret Order, uncovering more about their roles and the overall aims of the organisation. The narrative is developed as a series and follows the journey of self-discovery for our characters as well an exploration of the hidden, secret world of their order and those that belong to it. 

The project follows a similar premise as The Sopranos and The Da Vinci Code, to create an innovative, fresh, and new take on the themes of secret societies/occult mysteries as well as the thriller/drama genre. The Secret Order presents the viewer with what it’s like to be a high-ranking member of a secret society, following the lives of the 4 very diverse protagonists, whose fates are intertwined by their association to the secret society, and how that fits with the ordinary world outside. The project emphasises the idiom and the quote by W. H Auden: “There’s always another story. There’s more than meets the eye.”
