- Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Hello! My name is Tsetsa Plachkova. My chronological age is 51, but my biological age might have the digits reversed (15 😜). I work in an agency directly subordinate to the Ministry of Defence. Earlier in my professional career, I worked as an administrative officer in a Ministry of Interior unit; as a civil registrar and ceremony officiant at the Sofia Ceremonial House for Joyful Ceremonies; and in public relations and international cooperation at Panagyurishte Municipality. My interests are strongly focused on the arts. I write poetry and prose, recite, draw, dance modern and Latin American dances, and belong to an amateur authentic folklore ensemble at Iskra-1872 Community Centre in the village of Popintsi. In recent years, I have been developing in acting and cinema. I am a sporty person. In the colder months, I train in the gym 3–4 times a week, and in the warmer months, outdoors. I love being in nature. I adore the sea. I feel calm and recharged in my father’s house in the village, where I spend my free time more and more often.

2. What is your role in the film?
In “Cybercrime”, I play Mrs Silviya Ruseva, a mathematics teacher at a private school whose pupils are children of influential parents.
3. How did you prepare for it?
After I was selected for the role and Mr Mihaylov, the screenwriter and director of “Cybercrime”, introduced me to the character’s nature and specific traits, we held several rehearsals with the scene’s participants. Then, under Mr Mihaylov’s guidance, I made video recordings for about two weeks and sent them for approval, working on multiple levels: intonation, diction, expression, behaviour, emotion, movement and staging.
4. Did your experience at the Film Academy for Talents help you during filming?
The preparation at the Film Academy for Talents has undoubtedly played a decisive role in the experience and skills I have gained. A year of training in five modules with established professional teachers cannot fail to produce results. For this I sincerely thank Nataliya Dukova, Sofia Georgieva, Tsvyatko Tsenov, Kaloyan Paterkov, Lazar Panov and all the guest lecturers in the various fields of stage and film arts!
5. What did it feel like to work with everyone else on the team during filming?
An incredible experience. Thank you for the highly professional attitude!
Thank you for the special attention and the deep, precise eye for every detail!
Thank you for the opportunity and the incredible pleasure of being part of the Cybercrime film project!
Organisation, communication, relationships, attention, responsiveness, goodwill...
Sometimes words are not enough.
6. What is the coolest thing you will remember from making the film?
I appear in only one scene. There were not many incidents, or even many people I managed to meet in it. But it matters to me. Because of the friendships that I am sure will last a lifetime. Because of the confidence that we will meet again, both in life and on set while making other projects.
I wish “Cybercrime” and Atanas Mihaylov success. Because the film has a cause, is meaningful and was made with so much love.
Respectfully,
Tsetsa Plachkova
