Contemporary cinema is no longer art. According to insightful experts, it has turned into the sum of technology. Films are produced by people without special training and equipment. Evgeny Demochka made a "cool" picture in the genre of "realistic drama".
Starting conditions
Parents always dream of their children living happily. Ideas of happiness, almost does not change over time. In the same way, as well as the troubles that grown offsprings deliver to their ancestors. Vitaly Evgenievich Demochka was born on December 5, 1970 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the famous city of Ussuriysk. Father died in the construction of a special facility two months after the birth of the child. Mother worked as an engineer in a military unit laying railway tracks.
Vitaliy studied well at school. His favorite subject was mathematics. He several times came out the winner of city competitions in exact disciplines. However, this fact helped him in a difficult situation. Demochka could not finish school, because he was sent to a colony for hooliganism. In conclusion, he received enough criminal "education" to become an authority on the loose. Returning home, Vitaly became part of one of the criminal gangs. At that time, unemployment reached unprecedented levels in the Far East. Young people had nothing to do.
On the creative path
The bandits extorted money from those who came to buy cheap cars from Japan. Demochka developed an algorithm of actions and selected performers. The gangster career was developing successfully. His four tried to eliminate competitors. But the criminal business is always associated with the risk of a deadline. And so it happened. Vitaly again "thundered into the zone." After serving time appointed by the court, he decided to engage in another type of business. In 2004, he decided to make a film that still has no analogues in the history of Russian cinema.
As a man accustomed to making decisions and acting, Vitaly took up the project quite seriously. He wrote the script himself. Served as a director. He played a major role and allocated money from his reserves. The set of steel streets of Ussuriysk. The actors themselves were the participants in the events. In some episodes, real blood poured on the site. Moreover, during the filming, two "actors" were killed. Two hundred people took part in the filming. The whole process of creating a picture lasted for a year and a half.
