Introduce yourself in a few words.
Hello, my name is Eliya Yordanova. I’m 17 and from Sofia.
Introduce your character in the film.
I play Olive in the film. She is a girl who struggles to make friends and communicate, but at one point something changes in her.
How did you prepare for the role? What was the process like?
Preparing for the role wasn’t particularly difficult. The process was quite enjoyable, since I already had experience from working with the Academy.
Did your experience at the Film Academy for Talents help you during filming?
I can definitely say it helped. It helped me see through another person’s eyes and make new friends.
How did it feel to be with everyone else on the team during filming?
It feels wonderful. I worked with a fantastic team!
What is the coolest thing you will remember about the filming process?
The coolest thing I will remember from filming is the incredible feeling.
Share a joke or a line from Story-ta!
During filming, instead of saying Kuki, I said Gabi... /the actress’s name rather than her character’s name in the film/
We all had a laugh at what I said.
How were you chosen for the role?
I was chosen for the film through an audition. Nati told me that Olive has a moment in the film when she shouts. I started shouting, as the task required. Nati liked it, and the role was mine.
