  • Very nice cooperation with the festival in Saint Petersburg. Thank you for choosing my script "Revenge Blood For Blood" as part of the official selection of the festival. As I really like the theme that is in this novel and the script from 2011, I hope that this film will be filmed in the coming period. Thank you again
