Press Release Summary: Movie production turns into a nightmare
Press Release Body: Greg Roach, director of the world famous TV serial “The X Files” and Mark Snow, composer of the series’ music, took part in the making of the Bulgarian movie “The Hamlet Adventure” with the cooperation of their Bulgarian associate director Ivaylo Dikanski. Heading the team of the international co-production, they accepted the challenge to climb up and shoot at 2600 m above the sea level in the mountains of Rila. The film concept required a wild mountain naturalism for the film scenes, so an open stage was specially designed for the case to be built on the shore of the highest Rila’s lake. The facility was planned for complicated choreography of dances, pantomime and theater despite the sub-zero temperatures, prevailing outside at the most time. Filled with enthusiasm and astonished at the magnificent surrounding, people sometimes let themselves to be rushed on by hidden dangers. A mistake due to careless behavior ended with dangerous consequences for Mark Snow, who broke an arm and left the shooting ground, forced to continue his work at a quitter place.
The movie production has been followed by a bad luck all the way. Within 10 years the project has been failing due to various reasons and finally abandoned. The work was restored this year enlightened by the idea to actually shoot a story of “How we failed to shoot a movie”. The final touch was put at the famous “Graffitti Studio” in Bulgaria, where the movie production achieves an exquisite sound.
“The challenge about this production was the very concept which was a mixture of movie and documentary”, says Oggy Kiossovsky from Graffitti Studio. “The Hamlet adventure” is based on a true story of how a movie production can turn into a curse and a nightmare.
