About the offering
SUMMARY: Vladimir is a prisoner in a Soviet prison camp on a mission to rescue his wife who is also imprisoned in the Karaganda region. In order to rescue her, he must join the Vory v Zakonye, a criminal organization that controls the camps. The Vors succeed in finding her, but at a cost that will haunt Vladimir as he transforms into a powerful crime boss in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. KARAGANDA is an action film based on an award-winning thesis short filmed at the prestigious American Film Institute (voted #1 film school in the world by The Hollywood Reporter in 2011 - the year director Max Weissberg entered). This 26 min. short screened in 26 film festivals in 13 countries, earning 5 awards. Unlike the short, the feature will be in color. Note this short film was produced by "DBA LosFilm CA," a company separate from Karaganda LLC (but directed by Max Weissberg, the CEO of Karaganda, LLC). Despite the worldwide prevalence of the Russian mafia, few films have dug deep into the inner workings of the Vory v Zakonye, an elite Russian organization going back to the time of the czars. Even fewer have told stories from the POV of someone inside the Russian mafia. Like THE GODFATHER, KARAGANDA will establish the genre of Russian mafia films by casting Russian actors in top-level roles, with bits of Russian to add authenticity.
