Marek has started prep on the the screen adaptation of Jacqueline Gold’s autobiography. Set in the early 1980s, BRIEF ENCOUNTERS is a gutsy and ambitious period drama that follows a group of unlikely female entrepreneurs as they begin to sell exotic lingerie. The show explores British identity in all its shades of light and dark, the women face prejudice and battle conventional attitudes as they created the now infamous Ann Summers women only parties. Marek starts principle photography in February.
