Biography
Yassen Genadiev is a Bulgarian scriptwriter, film director and producer with a degree from the Milan Film and Television School “Luchino Visconti”.
He chose to study in Italy because he spoke the language but not only - he followed his love there and has stayed for 13 years already. The first film he wrote and directed, also his diploma work, was "Little Talks" („Празни приказки“). In Milan most of his projects are commercial, a form of art promotions he is making for Mercedes, Lancia, fashion brands.
But he does not stop writing Bulgarian stories and feels attracted to Bulgarian reality.
His preferred format is the short film. Inspired by a true story, his short film “Rules” strives to touch the audience emotionally and focus attention on the problem of loneliness. The 20-minutes format is somewhat unusual for the Bulgarian audience, but Yassen believes it has its merit because both the story and the implied emotions are much more intense.
The young producer and director has a new short format in the pipeline but is also working on a feature film.
