Statement of the Director/s
SHOOTING STAR is my debut short film (after graduation), a 28-minute co-production between Bulgaria and Italy.
SHOOTING STAR is a film with a big audience potential because of its up-to-date topic and the fact that the plot deals with the relationship between parent and child in an extraordinary situation. The story sets out with the everyday life of an average contemporary city family, whose fate could be the fate of any Bulgarian. We observe the family and the relationships in it as a model for the universal human value system of society.
