Interview with Oleg Hodus
- How did you decide to become a director? What did you start with?
In the childhood I together with my brother had a puppet theatre. There were a lot of characters and each of them had their own temper and behavioral psychology. Every day we made up new events, complicated storylines with conflicts (however, we did not know the meanings of these words then). Something like a soap opera.
When I grew up, I joined the theatre workshop. I used to be an actor, played in plays. Then I entered the university, the faculty of directing and kept on playing in plays.
Interview with Evgeniy Li
- What did you like about the genre of Photo Story? What new experience did you get?
I was interested in shooting the Photo Story according to the given screenplay, and the challenge actually was to match with the screenplay of the story, convey the mood and the idea of the plot. For me it was like filming a movie, where I act as a director and cameraman at the same time.
Interview with Alexander Kochegura
- What did you like about the genre of Photo Story? What new experience did you get? Did Photo Stories suit your common style of shooting? Why this genre is interesting for photographers?
The genre of Photo Story is 100% the thing we like! There is a story, visualization and it requires director’s skills. The most interesting are those stories which are interesting to tell while sitting in front of the fire. Short stories with unpredictable twists, that awakes your imagination… I always tried to shoot something more like documentary and develop the chosen theme. Thus, having started to shoot screenplays, I found myself in a common environment.
