In October of this year, an American creative team of Jacob Schwarz (an author of the first short film about Uzbekistan in 8K format) will begin shooting the first episode of the series about the history of the peoples of Central Asia in the XI-XII centuries.
Earlier, the Uzbek and American sides reached an agreement on the places the film would be shot.
Since the first pilot project is in English, actors from abroad are attracted to the film, in the subsequent series, actors from Uzbekistan may also be involved.
An adviser to the chairman of the State Committee for Tourism Development Bekhruz Khamzayev will be responsible for the consistency of the episodes in the series, while the film production and its post-production will be overseen by the creative team of Schwarz. Movie promotion will be carried out through Neftlix and Amazon platforms.
It is known that today the famous series “Game of Thrones” has been watched by a large number of people all over the world. Many elements in it originated from the history of the peoples of Central Asia. Therefore, it was decided to shoot a film about historical sites in Uzbekistan.
The project partner is the State Committee of Uzbekistan for Tourism Development.
“Cinematography is of great importance in promoting tourism. For example, a large number of episodes in the “Game of Thrones” series were filmed in Dubrovnik (Croatia), which today is one of the best tourist destinations in Europe for the fourth year in a row,” Bekhruz Khamzayev noted.
