What prompted you to agree to take part in Atanas Mihaylov’s film?
Aleksandar Velev: The idea for the film came about very spontaneously during a conversation between Nasko and me. We both sincerely wanted to create something unique, something relevant, as close to reality as possible, while also serving people of all ages as a reminder of how dangerous the new technologies and online space we use every day can be. One of the reasons I agreed to act in this film as well was my wish to contribute as much as possible to this worthy cause. The other reason is that appearing in a film, with such a responsible task, was one of my biggest dreams. That dream came true thanks to Nasko, and I’m very grateful to him.
What will you remember about taking part in/making "Cybercrime"?
Aleksandar Velev: Every moment, from preparing the script to shooting the film, despite all the difficulties that arose, was filled with smiles, good energy and professionalism.
Should more Bulgarian films be made, and what kind, in your opinion?
Aleksandar Velev: Of course. We are a people with many stories and trials, and if these are presented well through cinema, it would be immensely useful to all of us. That’s because I believe making meaningful Bulgarian films can inspire, awaken, educate and help us be better.
