“Thief of The Mind” nominated in Asian World Film Festival

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A Mongolian film of 2012--“Thief of The Mind” (Bodlyn Khulgaich), directed by J.Sengedorj and produced by B.Amarsaikhan--has been nominated to the Asian World Film Festival (AWFF), which will take place in Arclight Cinema–Culver City of Los Angeles, the USA, this October 28-29. This festival, initiated and run by the Asian community in LA, brings closer the Asian and Hollywood film industries by championing excellent films from 50 countries across Asia. “Thief of the Mind” is an action movie based on true story of B.Gansukh whose nickname is "90 million" that has shocked the whole nation by deceiving the President of Mongolia in 1994. The idea of making this movie first came to producer, Amarsaikhan, when he watched a testimony video of Gansukh on YouTube. In true story, Gansukh had heard an interesting talk about the Mongolian unique rare findings that are brought to America by Roy Chapman Andrews, who is an American explorer and naturalist, in the earliest of 20th century, from two old scientists talk. He found an incredible idea to bring back these findings to Mongolia, and sought for finance. But accidently, Gansukh met the President of Mongolia and got 90 million togrog of funding. At the time 24-year old guy was doing things seemed right to his sight but did not know that his unimaginable luxurious life would quickly change into a cold maximum security prison life. He became a Christian in prison and established the first Christian church and library there. After 14 years, in 2008, he was released from prison, since then became a member of "Living word" church, the biggest of its kind in Mongolia. According to the AWFF organizers, all films that participate in the Festival will have a unique chance to be guided through the challenging awards season, showcasing their foreign films to the Oscar Academy, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and all Guilds for enhanced exposure, media attention and awards consideration.
