Evgeniya: The Shooting Star In The Bulgarian Bar

I remember when I first saw promotion for Evgeniya’s film Patrik. The next time I saw promo for the film which was edited by her partner Darja, and shot by Michael Tosner, with killer performances by Patrik Baldauff and Jamal Hodge, it won its first award. I eagerly asked “where can I see this film?” to no avail. This is how things play out however in the film world when you submit your project for consideration. No publishing can begin until after your material is put to the test. After being categorized for fifteen more awards I received the invite which granted my wish. 

For starters, you have to really want to be there in order to get in the joint because it has the feel of a speakeasy. After searching a bit I found my way through a crevice into the cozy spot which reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino flick. After a wholesome conversation with the talented Darja she walked me over to the dazzling Evgeniya who just took the floor for the evening. As an empath I was so grateful to be introduced and surrounded by so much warmth and genuineness. The talent in my first circle of talks was enough to produce a major film with no doubt in my mind. The night flowed on with a surprise dance from Evgeniya who crept from the balcony crowned and draped in flowy garments. The energy increased, then Rada; another singer with a video produced by iDare productions took the stage and performed for us. 

The Mercury Retrograde did push its weight around a bit, muting the soundboard and freezing the first frame of the film, but once Patrik got underway it was more than what I expected. Their ability to caption emotion and put emphasis on human connection was remarkable and struck a cord about something that had been on my mind. In context, it reminds me of why film is so valued. It expresses the fleeting moments in a body of work that makes them meaningful so that the viewer no longer takes them for granted. Rada also play her video which was cinematic, and a sign that iDare productions will continue to prove highly capable. 

A plethora of artistic knowledge circulated the room of networks all night and I had a fantastic weekend. Evgeniya is even starring in PIE’s upcoming experiment short which still has me in a state of euphoria! I won’t reveal exactly what role she plays yet, however I guarantee her presence will be known and felt. Her being added to the cast which now stars her, Gina Stewart and myself is an honor! If this can occur by experimenting, it should be confirmed that art is also a science.
