Mina Mileva and Vesela Kazakova Bring Maria Bakalova and ‘Women Do Cry’ to the Croisette
Alissa Simon Film CriticIt’s hard to imagine two more charming and personable filmmakers than the Bulgarian directing-producing-writing duo Mina Mileva and Vesela Kazakova of the production company Activist38. Although slightly punchy with fatigue, they took a short break from post-production in Paris to talk to Variety about “Women Do Cry,” their second fiction feature after the Locarno fest competitor “Cat in the Wall” (2019).Their sales agent, MK2, submitted “Women Do Cry” to Cannes at the last possible moment; it won a spot in Un Certain Regard.
