Designated as “Funny in a sophisticated way” by its recently concluded Badami.TV syndicated distribution on 42 USA network local TV stations in 20 United States, the “Chaplinesque” silent film “WineGame” was called “Meaningful” by ShortCloseUp.com from Romania at the beginning of the Short’s current 52 Countries on 6 Continents tour.

Africa’s ROFFEKE calls this Short “a laugh-out-loud . . . perfect metaphor for the year 2020!”.

WINNER
Currently in Post-Production for his next Short - “Fitz”, for “WineGame” this Golden Smile & Panjim International Film Festivals’ BEST DIRECTOR is the Indus River Cinefest and 24 Hours Film Challenge BEST EDITOR, Global Monthly Film Competition BEST TRAILER plus 24 Hours BEST POSTER & BEST STORY WRITER Awards Winner. Mr. Bedelian was born in America on May 6, 1991 of Armenian heritage. Now a top of his class Loyola Marymont University School of Film and Television 2nd year graduate student out of Los Angeles, California - USA, he first got into filmmaking by shooting and editing documentaries on martial artists. From this background, Vahan brings a strong understanding of rhythm and action in visual storytelling. He combines these elements with a love of setting, production design, and generally strange imagery for a style that he hopes can feel unique and fresh to audiences. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5390674/
I feel like we can all relate to trying to carry too many things at the same time, both literally and metaphorically. I wanted to make a movie about that.
