It's a story that reminds us of the very worst and the very best of what human beings are capable of, comments Director Teplitzky. Im interested in how people behave intimately because then you understand the emotional truth of the action and that, to me, makes the best films, when its not action for the sake of it - its action because it comes out of the emotional.

Based on the remarkable bestselling autobiography, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax (Colin Firth), a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax and his beautiful love interest Patti (Nicole Kidman) discover that the Japanese interpreter responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and set out to confront him, and his haunting past, in this powerful and inspiring tale of heroism, humanity and the redeeming power of love.

Represented by ModOp Films for advertising based projects, Jonathan Teplitzky is an internationally sought-after director of commercials and music videos, renowned for his innovative style and visual flair. Over the last decade, he's directed over 100 spots.

Rossi Cannon, ModOp Films' EP says, Jonathan is a thoughtful director, a storyteller, someone who always pushes to create projects that are unique and original whether in advertising or the big screen. We've been working together for many years on the commercial side, and I am immensely proud to have Jonathan be part of ModOp Films. My partner Scof and I couldnt wait to see the film after having lunch with Jonathan here in Los Angeles. It's a powerful film. Now JT, as we call him, is excited about jumping back into directing his commercials, sharing ideas with agencies and working with creatives.
