FIVE MINUTES WITH ZANYAR MUHAMMADINEKO

ATFF:

Hello, not long now till this summer’s Adventure Travel Film Festival. We are so excited to be sharing so many fantastic films this year. Lets start with a quick summary of yours, what’s it about?

Zanyar:

By my side” a different coffee shop full of memories of drivers

ATFF:

How did the film come about? Was it something that you’ve always been interested in?

Zanyar:

Well actually just an amazing photo tempt me to make this film and made me fell in love with this film

ATFF:

This years films have spanned oceans mountains, glaciers… a huge range of environments. What challenges did you face in making yours?

Zanyar:

You know what it is a hard work to making a film in crowded place like a coffee shop and things like that we should be aware of time table working of the location and the owner of this coffee shop which as always he was busy as bee and I think this was the hardest part of the production, but we made it well.

ATFF:

Is there anything that you would like audiences to take away from your film?

Zanyar:

I think life is short and it could be end just by putting the body in a coffin and this short life is somehow like a road but I’m here as filmmaker to showing you that these drivers are alive for ever after. If you watch the film as audience you will see that it really is a different coffee shop which drivers come a lot because they have lots of memories in there witch are still alive there and it makes the story more fun.

ATFF:

We have lots of people come to the festival who aspire to future film makers. Do you have any advice?

Zanyar:

Well I think it is not that much hard to making a film. I can say; keep searching, reading, watching good films. It will help you to finding good ideas and writing down a good script and finally a nice production with good script will make you a good filmmaker to the world.

ATFF:

Are you coming to this years festival? How can audiences find out more and connect with you?

Zanyar:

So, I love to attend to different festivals because it makes me to watching good films, finding good friends…and at the end makes you to keep filming
