Coming Clean is a film that combines the social realism prevalent in Bulgarian and Eastern European cinema with the suspense thriller genre. The film tackles the heavy and prescient issue of femicide, in a manner that is hopefully makes the theme more accessible to a wider audience. It is a delicate balancing act, but one that has the potential to reach viewers who would not be interested in a more traditional drama approach and bring more awareness to the issue. The backdrop is Meden Rudnik, a specific neighborhood in the city of Burgas, on the Black Sea coast. It is a place with a distinct local dialect and culture that has rarely been the setting for films. The production will cast local actors and heavily feature elements that highlight the distinctiveness of the neighborhood and region.

We believe Coming Clean has the potential to resonate internationally, blending local authenticity with universal themes. To realize this vision, we are seeking a co-producer who shares our passion for the story and can contribute to its artistic and cultural value. Filming in Burgas, Bulgaria, the project will reflect the distinct local dialect and culture, but we welcome collaboration that enriches the narrative and broadens its perspective. While post-production in Bulgaria is budget-friendly, we are open to completing parts of it abroad to leverage specialized expertise. We have locked our Production Designer and DOP but remain flexible with other key positions to accommodate the strengths of our partners. Additionally, we are looking for sales agents in Europe and the USA, as well as festival distributors, to help ensure the film reaches international audiences and establishes its presence on the global festival circuit. Together, we aim to create a project that captivates viewers while addressing a vital and urgent social issue.
