In a press release, the Deputy Ministry noted that director-producer Stelana Kliris’ film “Find Me Falling” had been acquired by Netflix, the world’s largest streaming platform.
“This is a significant development for the film, its collaborators and producers,” the statement said. “It ensures its promotion and, by extension, the promotion of Cyprus to millions of viewers worldwide.” The release went on to congratulate the film’s team, and especially Kliris, for their vision and achievement. The internationally renowned actor Harry Connick Jr stars in the film, alongside strong performances from Agni Scott, Ali Fumiko Whitney and others.
