Dear Chardgha, I like your story for the movie, and unlike what many may say, it is the kind of story we need. What the genocide was and is, it is above all, the troma that each families were victim of... and any movies that worth to be taken seriously expose this reality.
I have sent you a personal message that you can access from your control panel, and I await your answer.
Regards

I've worked on many thesis films.. and teh average budget is about 50 thousand without frills... and this is a subject matter on an epic scale. I just hope you know what you're doing, that's all..

hi char dgha i would love to be one of your extras... i guess you can see my profile to see my picture... it is a picture taken by a phone, but i guess i am just a regular real armenian girl... nothing "extra"... HA!
[humor included]
please PM me the time location and all the rest...
Also i wish you the best on this film, sometimes i feel that my family's stories are pretty traumatizing too... my dad's side was from Musa Ler and my Mom's side from Sebastia and we have lost so many lives to the genocide... 15 chilrdern burned, eyes taken out, secret escapes, etc... and then the armenian political problems afterwords, people exciled to Siberia or beaten to death, etc...
anywho i would love to help... i can also help in financial planning, execution, and reporting, we can talk over the PM about this...

Being Genocided isn't something you should be making movies about all the time. What I mean is if a guy gets hella beat up, he doesnt go around bragging about it. Letting the world know what really happened in Turkey 1915 isn't really going to change anything, everyone has bigger problems now. In Africa I think over a million people were genoicided just recently. The point is, people should be educated, but we should do something about it also. Does anyone remember that movie that came out about a year or two ago, it was made a movie in a movie, and it had that armenian boy in the customs and his mom that looked like Cher, and it had a rape scene. That movie was honestly disturbing to me. And it accomplished nothing.
My mom told me in LA Armenians gather outside a Turkish something (embassy?) on Genocide day, and chant about the Genocide. Thats not going to accomplish anything. Instead of chanting and sounding angry they should just dance and eat, and have a good time, that way people who see it will be really interested in whats going.
Making Armenian movies is good, but they dont have to be about the Genocide, they can be anything Armenian related.
"genocided..."
"my mom told me..."
"turkish something..."
"dance and eat, and have a good time..."
C'MON MAN, you can't be serious...Last edited by djsinister; 01-18-2005, 09:34 PM.
