Much gratitude to David Noble for the opportunity to be DP/Gaffer on my first feature length film. Could not have done it without such a great local cast and crew

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Noble Park Films Triumphs at the Crown Point International Film Festival
'Secret Within the Sphere' Wins Best Science Fiction Feature Film; Lead Actor Alex Rudegeair Also Honored
Washington, D.C. April 11th, 2026. Noble Park Films is thrilled to announce that its independent feature film Secret Within the Sphere has claimed the prestigious Best Science Fiction Feature Film award at the renowned Crown Point International Film Festival. This extraordinary achievement marks a landmark moment for Noble Park Films and stands as a resounding testament to the creative vision, relentless dedication, and sheer passion that drove this production from concept to screen.
Secret Within the Sphere is a riveting science fiction adventure set within the growingly
popular steampunk genre — a richly imagined world brimming with action, intrigue,
ambition, and gripping power struggles. From its very first frame, the film commands
attention and refuses to let go. This production represents the most expansive and intricate
undertaking in Noble Park Films' storied 10-year history, pushing the boundaries of
independent filmmaking and proving that extraordinary storytelling is not the exclusive
domain of major studios.
"This win is a celebration of every late night, every creative challenge overcome, and every
moment our team refused to settle for anything less than their absolute best," said a
representative of Noble Park Films. "We poured everything we had into this film, and to have
it recognized on an international stage is beyond humbling — it is electrifying."
Adding even more brilliance to the evening, Alex Rudegeair of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was
honored with the Best Lead Actor in a Feature Film award for his captivating performance.
Rudegeair, whose compelling work has previously graced productions including On Turning
16 and others, delivered a performance that is both magnetic and profoundly nuanced —
commanding every scene with the kind of authenticity and intensity that only the most gifted
actors can achieve. This recognition firmly places Rudegeair among the most exciting
emerging talents in independent cinema today.
Secret Within the Sphere is available to watch on AppleTV, Google Play, Amazon Prime,
Fandango, and Tubi.
