Dess Atanasoff (Desislav Zherar Atanasov) was born in Pernik, Bulgaria. He has been making amateur films since he was 14 years old. He has a degree in engineering, and he is currently taking directing courses at New Bulgarian University. His first short film 'Mutual Heart' won the BUSHO 2021 PRIZE - BRONZE BUSHO in Budapest.
This short film was a long journey, so long that I had to travel the whole summer, working on a cruise ship and earning money for shooting the film. Finally all got wrong, but we managed to make the film anyway. It's just the story of the film I couldn't escape from.
What I find important in this film is that it shows how two very different types of personalities can communicate and find common ground. It's about love, but not the sexual love, it's about the pure love and how it can change people.
