This one was pretty crazy since Aryuna approached me with some idea about the script but the thing was we only had like 48 hours to get things done. I reworked the idea a bit and we immediately started looking for the location but the thing is with 0 budget it was hard to find any locations in Moscow due to such a short notice. Also, DP was missing, so after the day of efforts trying to find a location i went to my friend’s (he is DP) lecture and hooked him up on the project. He said he knew a perfect location for us, but it is in Saint Petersburg. We said whatever and next day got ourself a car share and started our ride to Saint Petersburg. The whole night trip tool like 6-7 hours which i couldnt sleep to keep our friend who was a driver awake. After that we went straight to the shooting at 6 am and everything was finished at 12. Small breakfast, few laughs and we back on our way to Moscow. The very same evening the first draft was done and everything came together in the next 24 hours. A cool reminder for me as the director that no matter the circumstances you can always go and create something.
And this work was an official part of “Substance” movie promotion, dedicated to its release on Mubi platform.
