Synopsis
Vahan Bedelian’s Oasis BEST FILM-MICRO, Rancho Cucamonga-California Indigenous Film Retreats three-time GRAND PRIZE winning, as well as Worldwide four-time BEST STUDENT FILM, absurdly retells the Sisyphus / Naranath punishment myth with the stone rolling up the hill being a worker’s wagon fueled by the Nectar of the Gods.
In review Africa’s ROFFEKE calls this Short a laugh-out-loud . . . perfect metaphor for the year 2020. Designated as Funny in a sophisticated way by its Badami.TV syndicated distribution on 42 USA network local TV stations in 20 United States, at the beginning of the Short’s current 52 Countries on 6 Continents tour, this CHAPLINESQUE silent film was called Meaningful by Romania's ShortCloseUp.com. Having won nine 24 Hours Film Challenge 2020 Awards including BEST SHORT FILM OF THE YEAR, “WineGame’s” first 2021 Award was for OVERALL CRAFTSMANSHIP plus ACTING & DIRECTING from The Netherlands’ Golden Smile International Film Festival. Since World Premiering August 1, 2020 in a 300+ screenings, 6 month KINNO [Moscow] run (during the Pandemic outbreak), to date “WineGame” has been adorned with 78 film festival Awards (including China’s 2020 Helan Hong Golden Tree International Film Festival Wine Industry Edition BEST MICRO FILM NEWCOMER €2500 Euro cash prize) from 97+ Nominations out of 135+ Selections producing 539+ Screenings including in nearly ½ of the 50 United States and counting.

Director Bio
As the International Film Carnival of Bangalore's 2022 BEST DIRECTOR Awardee for "WineGame", also this year Vahan Bedelian earned his Master of Fine Arts terminal degree from the Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television in Los Angeles, California-USA.
Having now completed “Fitz”, Vahan's 2nd short with PhilE, for “WineGame” this Golden Smile IFF & Panjim IFF BEST DIRECTOR is the International Art and Documentary Film Awards BEST SOUND DESIGNER, Indus River Cinefest BEST EDITOR, Golden Bird Film Challenge BEST ORIGINAL SCORE, Black Lady International Film Awards' BEST CREATIVE WORK, Global Monthly Film Competition BEST TRAILER plus 24 Hours Film Challenge BEST POSTER & BEST STORY WRITER Awards winner.
Mr. Bedelian was born in America on May 6, 1991 of Armenian heritage. He is now employed as an Editor in LA. Vahan first got into filmmaking by shooting and editing documentaries on martial artists. From this background, he 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.
In his WFCN Director's Statement, Bedelian says about this, his most successful film ever, 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.
This hot new young filmmaker has a major Interview coming out soon at Film de Arte.
