A new film success for the Film Academy for Talents: "One Gram of Life" coming soon to cinemas
At the Film Academy for Talents, we believe true art is created when young people get the chance to develop their talent. For years, we have been building acting schools, producing films and giving dozens of young artists a stage. This year alone, the Academy managed to produce five feature films, each bringing new achievements, excitement and recognition for our students’ work.
After projects such as "Monsters", "Murda Boyz – Neighbourhood Class", "Story-ta", "Cybercrime", "Mermaids", "The Eager Ones" and others, we are proud to announce the forthcoming premiere of our newest film, "One Gram of Life".
A film created by the Academy
"One Gram of Life" is a production that bears the Film Academy for Talents’ signature throughout, from the concept and screenplay to the cast. More than 100 Academy students take part, each with their own role and contribution to making the film.
This proves that when young people have a stage and support, they can create professional cinema worthy of screens across the country.

The screenplay is inspired by stories created by the national parents’ initiative "One Gram of Life", founded by Mariela Kirova and Kalin Teoshanov. Its mission is prevention before the first contact with drugs, a message the film brings to the big screen.
"The story’s main mission is to act as a shield for children’s future, to save as many human lives and futures as possible, particularly children’s," says director Atanas Mihaylov.
He adds:
"I work with some of the greatest professionals in the industry. These are professionals, each in the right place, and the team works like a very well-coordinated clockwork mechanism. Everyone knows what they are doing on set, everyone knows what is happening, everyone covers for the others if necessary, which is extremely important because there are 139 different characters."
Look forward to the premiere
"One Gram of Life" will be released in cinemas very soon, and we are certain it will touch viewers’ hearts with a story that is real, emotional and inspiring.
For us, this film is more than a project: it proves that the Film Academy for Talents is a place where dreams come to life and young people get a chance to perform on the big screen.
