Belarusian girls now have the opportunity to participate in casting arranged in Minsk! Everybody knows that movie making is an inexpensive venture in Belarus, but not in Russia or HOLLYWOOD. That's why many Russian movie making companies visit Belarus to shoot their films. Now it seems that Belarusians and Russians are going to go to the United States to visit the American movie production company ''900 Frames'' (Hollywood, Los Angeles) to make a movie from Dzmitry Vasilyeu's movie project Dimanasus Prophecy.
Vasilyeu:
I began composing my music with short videos a long time ago. Not too long ago someone asked me if I could compose music for some movie. That gave me an idea. I thought, 'Why not make a real movie myself?' I shared my idea of making a movie with some partners in USA and they liked it, so I began working on my movie project.
The story of the film centers around the life of a young guy from Belarus who wants to immigrate to America and get married with some rich American woman. However, on his way to realizing his dream he gets into trouble being suspected as a criminal involved in the crime of human trafficking. But the story has the so-called 'happy-ending'.
It had to be a very modern 'mix' movie with combinations of drama and detective work, with lots of my own composed music woven through it, played on the guitar and piano. It's is very possible that some famous Belarusian pop stars will be interested in participating in my movie project.
Shumarova:
So who are going to be the actresses in your movie?
Vasilyeu:
The main characters will be performed by American non-professional actresses, but the episode roles are reserved for Belarusian girls only! In this connection the casting will be arranged to select twenty girls between the ages of 20 and 28. It's important for all actresses to be non-professionals. The casting is free of charge, however, the video and photo portfolio that we design for them, using special computer effects and computer graphics, will be sold to the girls as author intellectual property. All activity in arranging the casting is in conformity with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Belarus. Every girl will be required to sign a casting agreement. Belarusian girls are very attractive, artistic and talented. Who knows? Maybe one day one of them will become a Hollywood star...!
