Movies have always been my passion since I was a kid. They let me escape from reality and use my imagination to create stories and characters that only live in my mind. Now I can see those stories come to life on the big screen, where fairy tales become reality.

My real name is Krassimir Nikov, which means a beautiful world, but I go by ‘Peter Boiadzhieff’, a stage name that honors my grandfather and is easier to pronounce. I wish I had changed it legally when I became a US citizen, but it’s too late now.

I grew up in a small town called Petrich in Bulgaria, a small country in Eastern Europe. It’s the birthplace of the famous oracle ‘Vanga’ and the legendary warrior ‘Spartacus’. Back then, we had no cell phones, no internet, just a black and white TV with two channels. I enjoyed exploring the mountains and fishing in the river every week during the summer. Those days are gone, replaced by Instagram and cell phones.

My life is like a feature film, full of ups and downs. I was bullied in school, which made me hate it. I joined the army in 1993, where I learned Morse code as a telegraphist. I moved to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, where I became a software developer. I was lucky enough to come to Atlanta Georgia ten years ago and pursue my dream of being a film maker on the weekends.
