    Wonderful challenge

    That was the real challenge to make #KillTheAct that way we produce it. We invited actors, who has not so much experience in motion picture process. For 3 of them that was the real debut in motion picture business. Director has to play tv director, and it add difficulties from one hand, but from another it gave "the real audition degree" for Anatoli Petchenko, who played the lead role in Kill The Act. As I can say the result doubled my expectations. Everyone did a great job no matter of what conditions were.

    Awesome

    I like the idea and realization plan :) Crew is perfect. Slavar is very creative as always. Pleasure to work with such staff.I like Slava's attitude to actors performance.He always teaches us, showing appropriate movements and intonation for the moment. But it does not feel like -"You are doing everything wrong. You must do this way". It is more like discussion how to improve this particular scene. He pays much more attention to intonation and movements, then to words in text. If you live the role - you move accordingly and words are coming naturally with a right intonation, no matter if it corresponds with original text or not.. Awesome experience

      Director: Hold it, like a man! Like a man! It's a sward, but not your dick!

    • Crazy credits
      Anatolia Petchenko, who plays Anton, the actor at the audition never said the line " Oh, how many of thou I left to live" correctly. That exact sentence which he must to pronounce before he kills. He said it 20 times different way. Director decided not to correct him due to Anatoli looks like even more nervous in the scene. Anatoli never pointed that, until director told him at the very end of the filming session.
