Comment: Fails WP:ENT. None of their films has a dedicated article, which makes me really question if the films are actually significant. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:17, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Slav Velkov (born 6 March 2000) is a Bulgarian director, writer, and painter. He is known for his short-form motion pictures, which have premiered at festivals worldwide and gained popularity on social media since 2020.
Career
[edit]At age 14, Velkov was one of eight winners at the 2nd annual Nevena Kokanova Festival for Theatre and Film Arts in Bulgaria with his short narrative screenplay Who? (2015).[1] In 2016, Velkov co-wrote, co-produced and directed his second short film, M (2017)[2], which was widely covered in Bulgarian media, including Bulgarian National Television[3] and Bulgarian National Radio.[4]
In 2020, Velkov directed the short social film, Change Bulgaria (2020), about the 2020-2021 Bulgarian protests. As a result of the film's popularity on Facebook, Velkov and the cinematographer Georgi Goshev appeared on Bulgaria ON AIR television[5]. Velkov's next project was the short documentary film, The Medal (2021), that premiered In Competition and opened the international Master of Art Film Festival in 2021.[6]
Velkov's 2021 short narrative film, A New World, starred Bulgarian actors Petko Venelinov and Boyan Mladenov and screened at the Big Apple Film Festival[7] and The Artists Forum Festival of the Moving Image in New York City.[8] Later in 2021, Velkov shot his next project, Strangers (2023), in New York's Chinatown. The movie was Official Selection at the 2023 Soho International Film Festival[9]. Earlier the same year, Velkov worked at The Wall Street Journal, where he wrote, produced, and edited multiple videos on the entertainment and technology industries.[10]
Slav is currently working on his next short film project, which he shot in Bulgaria, New York, and New Jersey[10]
