My Name is Sam Nassar I have recently moved to Hollywood CA to become a Film Maker. I am currently attending the Los Angeles Film School. I am constructing a script for my thesis film production. I have chosen to make a film about the Armenian Genocide. It will be the story of my Great Grandmother Veronik Kavlakian who was a survivor of the horrors of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. She was marched from her home in Fenesee to the Desert of Der Zor with her children ages 2, 4 and 5. My Great Grandfather had left for Detroit Michigan where I am from to make money working at the Ford Motor Plant to bring his family to America to escape the persecution of the Turks. They were marched for days on end with no shelter, food or water. Veronik buried all 3 of her daughters in the desert with her bare hands. They had suffered massive hunger and thirst and just simply could not go on. Veronik at that point knew what she was facing.......complete annihilation. She then made the decision to get away. She made her way to a refugee camp and eventually through the Red Cross was located by her family in America and brought through Ellis Island to Detroit. She then started a new life having my Grandfather Jack and his brother Tony. If not for her strength and determination I would not be here today. This film is my tribute to her and to the 1.5 million lives lost in the Genocide. Any actors/actresses or people interested in being extras would be a great help. I am also looking for Armenian musicians especially duduk to help me construct a score for my film. Anyone interested either post me on here or Email me at chardgha18@aol.com. Thank you very much

If the Doenmeh Jews are included in the movie, it would never reach the Cinema... (Ararat barely made it because of Turkish Propaganda)Comment

then we can take it underground...PRIVATE THEATERS.
I know that a lot of people would be willing to see it...if you can have a combination of both books to back up the movie and the movie itself, you can have an insane force right there.Comment

my movie is based on my family and their journey through the horrible syrian desert and my grandmother the sole survivor of her family surviving and coming to America. I am not basing it on any books. Comments are fine but make sure you actually read my message before you comment please. I am open to suggestion or help in certain ways. Armenian looking extras would be nice, also any Armenian musicians especially the duduk. Also if anyone knows any California Armenians willing to help me with funding that would be greatly appreciated. I am a single film school student trying to get my families story told and the story of all of the Armenians. Thank you.Comment

I like your style, but, instead of your family, you can make it everyones family. Hell, you can get the support of hundreds of other non-armenians if you just add what the Jews did as well! It would be soo fantastic.Comment

Not trying to get away from the topic, but I'm clueless at what the Jews did! Can someone explain? I naturally hate the Jews! (The ones that have all the power and money in the world).
As far as helping, I can be an extra, no problem. I could be a great actor too. (My job requires a lot of acting [nothing on the TV or movies though])!Comment
