St. Maximilian Kolbe and Triumph of the Heart: Behind the Scenes
Go behind the scenes of 'Triumph of the Heart' as the filmmakers share how suffering, prayer, and craft shaped a moving portrait of St. Maximilian Kolbe’s final days—and an encounter with hope.
Deacon Mike Beauvais talks with writer-director Anthony D'Ambrosio and producer Cecilia Stevenson about “Triumph of the Heart,” a tightly focused, character-driven film on the final days of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Anthony traces his path from seminary and serious illness to rediscovering God’s love through Kolbe’s witness and the mystery of suffering and natural evil. Cecilia pulls back the curtain on indie filmmaking in Poland—casting, shaved heads, VFX beards, housing a large crew, and the providences that kept production moving. They explain why the story centers on one decisive act of love, with lessons from “The Passion of the Christ” and the power of confined dramas like “12 Angry Men.” The team reflects on prayer, spiritual warfare, and an emotional premiere on the eve of Kolbe’s feast day.
