Beyond the Short Official Premiere

Imagine a child who has lost his loved one, a teenager who is different from others and rejected by his own family, a creative and talented person that had to face misunderstanding, bullying and shame.

All that is shaped in a dancer with a passionate heart and an admirable determination for perfection. We present you an immersion into the Tarik’s world and subconsciousness through the line between life and death.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

“The guys started shooting this project even before lockdown, everything was going perfectly, until the time was right. I was invited to the project by my friend, a talented artist and artist, cameraman and director Maxim Klenow, we have known Maxim for quite a long time, we worked together on commercial projects, spent time in common companies and instantly caught each other's vibe, stylistics and rhythm of feelings.

Maksim and his team returned from a trip to the states, having shot some cool material that needed cutting and directing.

After watching the project, I understood that a different form and a different rhythm of the picture was needed, it was a real challenge and a thrill to find a new plasticity. We needed to shoot more of the material in order to reveal more of the portrait of the hero, to reveal the character at the level of feelings and sensations, empathy and empathy.

We decided to make a parallel between the two parallel worlds of the hero, his childhood and the present moment, emphasizing the idea and feelings through the prism of metaphors and the disclosure of the inner world.

For a long time we asked for support from producers, producers, but nobody agreed and nobody wanted to support us. They told me that they didn't see the potential in this project and it was raw, but I believed that this was not true and that the project was really worthwhile.”
