PROJECT HUMAN WEAPON: MINDSTORM
interview with Rositza Chorbadjiska, Bulgarian actress
Mindstorm [2001/2]
Synopsis
REMOTE VIEWING theme: EVAN MINK was once the CIA’s most cunning and successful tracker [Judge Rheinhold]. Years later, he’s called back into action to track down and find a pair of fraternal twins, boy and girl [Rositza Chorbadjiska]. Raised in a top-secret Bulgarian lab since their birth, the twins are taught to develop their powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities [synthentic and/or artificial telepathy] to extreme, and sometimes deadly, consequences. Think two heads are better than one? Think again.
Dresden, Germany. Evan Mink’s [Judge Rheinhold] respectable career with the CIA is long gone. Replaced now by the whiskey bottle, faceless prostitutes and fleabag motels. An extraction mission in the Balklands took a tragic turn and Mink took the fall. Meanwhile, the twins have grown up. Separated sometime during their telekinetic development, they lead separate lives and do not remember their sibling past.
JERRY CHENISKY is still with the top-secret program, having spent his life at the Bulgarian lab. During advanced training, Jerry sees his future; his mind will be used as a weapon. Using powerful telekinesis, Jerry will be able to disable weapons or hurl massive objects at enemies. Telepathically, he can read thoughts and impose his will. Whatever Jerry thinks, others will do.
In another part of Bulgaria, his twin sister SILVIA has grown into a stunning beauty. Removed from the program long ago, she [Rosie Willder] possesses the same abilities as her brother but with far less power. Silvia uses her telekinesis and telepathy to rake in money at the local casinos. For Silvia, it’s mind over money. Not wanting the future that’s been ingrained since his birth, Jerry escapes the telekinetic lab and sets out to find his sister.
CIA operative MIKE ROJACK calls on Mink. Pulling him out of his lackluster lifestyle, Rojack gives Mink another chance to get back in the CIA’s good graces and wipe the Balklands episode clean from his record. The mission? Find Jerry and Silvia and bring them back.
Mink begins his search, following Jerry’s destructive trail. What he doesn’t know is that the twins have found each other and joined forces for the sake of their survival. Rojack’s armies and weapons are dispatched when they encounter the twins and their shared abilities.
When Mink finally corners the twins, he discovers that despite their awesome powers, they are still human beings, not just the weapons Rojack intended them to be. Now Mink has to make a choice between completing his mission or delivering the twins to their doomed fate.

Interview of Rositza Chorbadjiska, Bulgarian actress, with Bryan Adrian, publisher of Hollywood Tattler, May, 2001:
Mr. Bryan Adrian: "Miss Chorbadjiska, may I call you Rositza?"
Rosie: Rosie will do.
Hollywood Tattler: Tell us about yourself, Rosie.
Rosie: First ... I was a model in Sofia
Bulgaria, and won Miss Sofia in 1998. My first movie was Bloodsport.
The director selected me from a pool of models in Sofia for Bloodsport.
After this film, people started calling me
for different roles.
My modeling agency started at this time to
supply films that were shot in Bulgaria
with models. There are many American production companies from LA these days
shooting in Sofia and Bulgaria
now, rather than Vancouver.
That is how I became one of the leads in UFO Production's
"MINDSTORM".
French are shooting, Italian, and Canadians
are also shooting now in Bulgaria,
for the same reasons. Good locations and it is cheap.
Hollywood Tattler: Did you know there are now two "Mindstorms"
on the market, both about CIA, telepaths, and brainscanning
warfare, shot about the same time, the other one released some months ago, both
with the same name?
Rosie: I saw the other Mindstorm
... you mean the one with Eric Roberts?
Hollywood Tattler: Yes ... that's it.
Rosie: I don't think there are any
connections between the two films.
Hollywood Tattler: How did you end up in Los Angeles?
Rosie: I moved to LA last summer after
deciding that I wanted to work in LA, especially after my work with Judge Rheinhold in Mindstorm, and the
UFO crew and producers. The Bulgarians don't like me for this decision, they
are jealous. Bulgaria
is a very small country.
Hollywood Tattler: Yes. I am familiar with this likely outcome with
Bulgarians. I was engaged for seven years to a Bulgarian artist, who suffered
the same reaction after moving to Manhattan.
Are you finding work in film in Los Angeles now?
Rosie: Basically, I run my own modeling
agency now in Los Angeles,
and it is quite successful.
I need a few more months in LA before I
start auditioning for new movie parts. Hopefully, Mindstorm
will be successful when released, it is now still in post-production. After
that, maybe my phone will be ringing off the hook with new parts!
The shoot in Bulgaria for Mindstorm
was very professional, with very professional casting, and Judge Rheinhold is a very nice person, a real human being, a good
partner. It was fun to shoot a high quality American action movie in Bulgaria. I did
my own stunts! It is rare for a Bulgarian actress to be involved in projects
outside of Bulgaria.
My role in Mindstorm is a big thing in Bulgaria! For
me to get the role involved a lot of intense competition. So it is important to
me to find some better creative and professional work here in Los Angeles, that I could not find at home.
Mindstorm should be coming out in Blockbuster in a month or two. I hope this
interview alerts lots of people to a very fun film.
You know, we shot a few long scenes at the Rila Monastary, a very nice
location. The movie is worth seeing for that alone.
Hollywood Tattler: Is that the famous scene in which the broken church bell
is repaired by telekenesis, by one of the telepathic twins, ... am I right?
Rosie: Yes! That's it. My twin brother
character in the film repairs it with his thoughts.
Hollywood Tattler: Going back to Bulgaria being
a very small country. Is this a disadvantage in Los Angeles??
Rosie: No, not at all. Actually, LA is very
international, people here are from everywhere, so
nobody cares. If you are good, you can make it.
Hollywood Tattler: Would you like to continue doing only action films?
Rosie: If I could, I would like to one day
do some real dramatic parts, like I did in theatre school. I studied theatre
arts in Sofia
at the Academy, and i would like to get back to parts like that.
Hollywood Tattler: Well I hope you do find those parts Rosie, and thanks for
your time. Good luck in Los Angeles.
Rosie: Thank you very much Mr. Bryan Adrian
of Hollywood Tattler.
