Agora/Market Manual - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-2010Crossroads ProjectsMy Brother LazarusFYROM / Croatia / BulgariaProduced by:SMALL MOVES LTD/MAINFRAME/GEOPOLYDirector: Svetozar RistovskiScriptwriter:Svetozar Ristovski, Grace Lea TrojeProducer: Svetozar RistovskiCo-Producers: Igor A. Nola,Mainframe-Croatia, Georgi Cholakov,Pavlina Jeleva, Geopoly Ltd.-BulgariaBudget: 1.157.474 euroSecured Financing: 30%Location: FYROMLooking for:Co-producers, Sales Agent, Pre-salesSYNOPSISLazar and Tegla are teenage smugglers and best friends. In order to improve their meager existence, Lazar, with Tegla’smoney, becomes involved with Miki and his mob, in an undercover human trafficking operation. Lazar spends all hismoney on his girlfriend’s, Kate singing career instead of paying Tegla back. Strung out from trafficking, Lazar beats Kateup for cheating on him. Kate goes to Tegla for support. Tegla, offended by Lazar’s violence and betrayal, rats on him to apolice informant. Lazar’s illusions of grandeur are shattered by an altercation at the border where Toni, Lazar’s partnerand brother – in – law, shoots an immigrant. Sick to his stomach, Lazar sabotages his car to avoid trafficking and Tonigoes alone only to be thrown in jail, where he is murdered by Miki’s men. Lazar confronts Miki, with no result. In his lastattempt to escape, he steals money from Kate’s lover, but at the last minute he decides to come clean.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTMy Brother Lazarus is a crime drama with elements of a coming of age story. It is a story of friendship and deceit.It is also a story of crime and corruption, and one young man’s disillusionment with the glamorous world of thecriminals that he aspires to, and finding the courage to confront it. The story follows the lives of two best friends,Lazar and Tegla, and the disintegration of their friendship. As a filmmaker, I am drawn to the neo-realistic narrative,and my interest is in exploring the psychological and emotional transformation of characters in a simple humanstory. To me, the stories are about characters and how they react and change to circumstances beyond theircontrol, or the difficulties they bring upon themselves and others through their actions. I envision this film as anemotional cinematic journey, where the visual style will speak as much as the dialogue.SMALL MOVES LTD.PRODUCER’SCONTACT INFORMATIONSMALL MOVES LTD – FYROMT. +389 23211 073M. +389 70315761sristovski@yahoo.comMAINFRAME FILM PRODUCTION - CroatiaT. + 385 1 382 11 55, + 385 1 382 20 22info@mainframeproduction.comwww.mainframeproduction.comGEOPOLY LTD – BulgariaT. +359 2 9630 661M. +359 888 627 357, +359 888 605 350geopoly@gmail.comwww.geopoly-film.comSmall Moves Ltd was established in 2000.
