The
short film “Restavrazov” by Bulgarian film-maker Adrian Al Jazzar
received first prize for best cast and third prize for
best comedy film at the international IndieX Film Festival in
Hollywood, BTA has reported. The film competed with thousands of
films from 59 countries.
"Comedy
is my favourite genre, although it is very difficult. I am glad that
the audience was able to understand the film. The actors who
participate in it are not professionals. I choose them according to
the role and in many cases they play themselves. The award is the
greatest recognition for our team and motivates me to make more films
and participate in other international festivals," Adrian Al
Jazzar said.
At
the same IndieX Film Festival, Al Jazzar's "Empty Life" won
the grand prize for a film up to five minutes back in 2021.
