Co-producer of the Armenian side Angela Frangyan says: “When I was told that Jessica Woodworth was in Armenia a looking for a “fixer,” a person that would look locations and accompany the team, I immediately agreed, thinking that it was a good opportunity to show my favorite places to the famous director. The Armenian lands became a real inspiration for the director. Later, they invited me to the Netherlands and offered to be their co-producer, even though I had no experience with such a large project.”
