Alexandra Bekiaris – Executive producer of highly acclaimed film “MOST” (Bridge), nominated to Academy Award in 2004 followed by a warm reception wherever the film was shown. She says: “The story of Most can't be taken away, only added to. It leaves you questioning, because there are so many possibilities to the story itself. We are all on carriages going somewhere and we'll always be going somewhere, and whether you are a Hollywood star or a homeless person at the lowest part of your life, you are always looking for your next stop: sometime called “love”, sometime called “hope”, another time called “change”.
