About me
film in recent years - „11 A“.
My journey as a script consultant started with my work as a creative assistant to the legendary head of Nu Boyana Studio Bulgaria, Mr. David Varod. It was then that I developed what is known as the „producer's view“ of storytelling, a practical approach that many aspiring screenwriters neglect when pitching complex and expensive projects with little or no market potential.
In fact, I've been watching movies with an analytical eye since I was 10 years old. Even then I fell in love with this art. I couldn't wait to get home, put the video on, and relive a story over and over, asking myself why I liked it and what I would change. So I grew up with the language of cinema, learning it the same way a child learns his mother tongue. Later, with the advent of DVD, the second disc, the „making of“ became gold for me. It was my early film school.
I apply the same organic approach to my consulting work, looking for the heart of the story - gold, the cosmic engine. At least that's where we start.
My long experience as a casting director also connects me with cinema. Every screenwriter should be a casting director. And even if he doesn't work as one, he must tirelessly search for the right characters among the people who will later become the prototypes of his characters.
Last but not least, I'm a copywriter. I have experience both freelancing and as part of a large agency team. I'm currently responsible for developing ideas, in ATS Films.
Education:
MA in Literature and History. For the last five years I have been teaching screenwriting to students, which has been a blessing. Many of them are now students at film academies.
