Bozenna Intrator A multi-lingual producer, author, and translator, Bozenna ('Bo') Intrator was born and raised in Poland but is something of a world citizen, having lived and worked for significant periods in Austria, the United States, and France, among other countries. Her father held a law degree but earned his living as a businessman; her mother taught drawing and math; she has one sister who lives in the state of Florida. At Warsaw University, In the 1980is, Bo became a political activist who joined other students in protest against the communist system in Poland. After helping a Swiss journalist to collect materials for a series of articles about the Solidarnosc movement published in Schweizer Illustrierte, Bozenna came under suspicion. Still, she managed to leave Poland to study in Vienna, Austria, on a stipend received from an NGO related to the Vatican. That is where she met David Intrator, and (still a student) began to work with him on advertising campaigns. That marked the beginning of a life in exile - for almost ten years, Bo was not able to return to Poland to see her family. Convinced that the political situation would not markedly change any time soon, she moved with David to his home town - New York, by the end of the 1980s, where they got married. In time, Bo entered New York University, graduating in 1990 with a Master of Philosophy degree. The couple divorced in 1996. Bo retains dual citizenship in both Poland and the U.S.A. Ms. Intrator's body of work - poems, short stories, novels, plays - has sprung to life in Polish, German, and English, published in the countries where those languages predominate. She has written, translated, and adapted numerous pieces for the theatre and television in Poland. Among her television offerings was the popular series, 'Hela w opalach', based upon the American series, 'Grace under fire'. Her many song lyrics are on CDs and the music tracks of films, her song 'A kto wie czy za rogiem' is, since 2001, the most often played Christmas Song in Polish radio stations. I'll find You is her third English language screenplay produced.
