Hello,
I'm a filmmaker from Venice, California. My father was born in Estonia, and my grandfather and uncle participated in important events that marked both a return to independence in 1919, and the eventual occupation of Estonia by the Soviets in the early 40's. My uncle was sent to the gulags, from where he eventually escaped, and my grandfather escaped with my father and his siblings to Austrian relocation camps, and then to the U.S. I'm incorporating family history as well as important events in my film, and would love an Estonian/English speaking collaborator on research to come on board the project. It is as yet unfunded, but interest in co-producing the project has been expressed by a major Estonian production company. I have a well established career as a producer here in Hollywood, and feel that this is the most important project I've ever worked on, creatively. I'd love input and ideas, and I welcome your comments as well. Perhaps we can make a movie together!
