Re: Yo Armenians!!!! time to support!!! EAST OF BYZANTIUM!

I love it! It's really well made. The dark atmosphere gives you a good perspective of the time, but I hope there will be lighter, more bright green grass and blue sky scenes (one of the aspects of 300 I didn't like is that it was dark all the time).

Hehehe! Thanks. Of course. this is just a somber sample from the perspective of Vartan's wife when she learns that they have kill her husband... so you can understand we can have it all be happy happy! hehe

But yes... we are planning to make this amazing in terms of environments. And a lot of it will be shot in real locations.

Thanks Again!

As many of you know Roger Kupelian and his team have been trying to get East Of Byzantium, the 2 film biopic about the origins of Christianity in Armenia and the Vartan Mamigonian story.

For 2 Years since I started working for him, we have done an intense amount of development (INTENSE) to make a great story, film and our people proud...

The video looks great! Good luck with making this movie.

By the way, are you sure that khachkars existed back in the 5th century, and were not created in a later period?

Actually, the Armenian national art form of making Khachkars is older than Christianity itself. The predecessor of the Khachkar is the Vishapakar (Dragon Stone) which were placed near lakes and rivers. You can read more information about this on www.armenianhighland.com in the chapter "Cross Stones".
However it was not until the 15th century that Khachkars became widespread in all parts of Armenia.

If this is 5% of what the final version will look like then I'm very impressed! Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

In that development we shot a number of test to make sure than when the time comes to make the film we are prepared and avoid as many mistakes as possible.

We decided to release this tests to the public because we believe you deserve to see what we have been doing behind the studio doors.

NOW, I will repeat this are tests! not the final film. this is only at a 5% of how the whole film will look like, so please understand this are tests.

This is the first test of the series and we hope you enjoy it.

We ask of you and every Armenian to support us, to support our history, our story. PASS IT AROUND. the more views the better for the project and our identity in the world.

Thanks again and like I said enjoy it.

ps: just a quick note after reading some forums.... if you ever heard someone said that we wanted Vartan Mamigonian to be Chinese... please ignore that comment or that rumor, not only is false, it is a dumb ass comment from people that want to discredit the effort of a number of filmmakers that are trying to make a difference. Vartan is Armenian 100%!

In fact if you don't hear it from people associated to Fugitive Studios... don't believe it. We care about our audcience very much! For the love of everything that is around us don't believe the stupid stories like " my cousin is the friend of someone" That is crap. We keep things very tight in our group, with our team, We wouldn't create something that is not accurate. Now, do we take liberties, yes of course... it's cinema! they have done it with BraveHeart, Galdiator, etc we do it to... but nothing that breaks the story or the tone of the film... or our passion for our history

Thanks Again for listening to my rumblings and enjoy the test teaser.

Best Regards
