The Film Academy for Talents continues to develop young talent in Bulgaria with another large-scale film project: the new teen series "King of the Street", featuring over 70 students from the Academy.
The series is produced by the Film Academy for Talents and directed and written by Matey Genchev, creator of the teen film "Run" (2019). The project brings together dozens of young actors in leading, supporting and small roles, as well as crowd scenes, giving them real filming experience in a professional production.
Matey Genchev continues his family’s tradition in Bulgarian cinema. He is the son of director Maksim Genchev, known for the historical films "Botev" and "Deacon Levski". With "King of the Street", he presents his new original project, aimed at young audiences and inspired by the contemporary stories, challenges and choices young people face.
For the participants, this is an exceptional opportunity to work on a professional set, learn about the entire process of creating a series and gain practical experience on camera. Productions like these are one of the Film Academy for Talents’ main missions: turning training into real practice and preparing future professionals for the film industry.
"King of the Street" is one of the Academy’s largest projects to date, in both the number of participants and the organisation of filming. In the series, viewers will see over 70 Film Academy for Talents students performing a variety of roles on camera and showing the talent they are developing during their training.
The series is currently in the final stage of preparation, and the premiere date of "King of the Street" will be announced very soon. The team promises a fast-moving story, strong emotions and many new faces taking a major step towards professional cinema.
