I was also struck by the memories of people who had once stood on the brink of life and death. In particular, the comment of a woman who had an unusual dream before attempting suicide was almost literally quoted in the climax of our film.“ READ OUR FULL INTERVIEW WITH SERGEY & ANDREI // Credits // A film by Sergey Spirin & Andrew Beresnev Producer - Ted Young Line Producer - Galy Beresneva Cast: IYOV - Grisha Gandlevsky Lida Sarukhanova (Lia) - @capyxanova ABOUT DIRECTORS NOTES Since 2006 Directors Notes has curated the world's best independent films alongside exclusive daily deep dive interviews which provide behind the scenes insights into the inspirations and production stories of the most talented filmmakers on the planet.
