Director's Biography
Currently in Post-Production for his next Short - “Fitz”, for “WineGame” this Golden Smile & Panjim International Film Festivals’ BEST DIRECTOR is the Indus River Cinefest and 24 Hours Film Challenge BEST EDITOR, Global Monthly Film Competition BEST TRAILER plus 24 Hours BEST POSTER & BEST STORY WRITER Awards Winner. Mr. Bedelian was born in America on May 6, 1991 of Armenian heritage. Now a top of his class Loyola Marymont University School of Film and Television 2nd year graduate student out of Los Angeles, California - USA, he first got into filmmaking by shooting and editing documentaries on martial artists. From this background, Vahan brings a strong understanding of rhythm and action in visual storytelling. He combines these elements with a love of setting, production design, and generally strange imagery for a style that he hopes can feel unique and fresh to audiences. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5390674/
Director's Statement
I feel like we can all relate to trying to carry too many things at the same time, both literally and metaphorically. I wanted to make a movie about that.
