A big shoutout to Dubova Events for pulling off the Herculean task of organizing this shoot. Honestly, what would we do without event agencies? Probably just stare blankly into space, contemplating our existence.

Now, mark your calendars people! On November 1, we were graced with the launch of the series “Polyhedrons” on the START platform—an emotional rollercoaster that takes teenage angst to new cinematic heights. Imagine this: privileged young adults at a metropolitan university navigating the thrilling maze of friendship, love, and, let’s not forget, that quintessential familial drama. Can you feel the intensity? I can! The plot is also based on the well-received novel by Natalia Sposobina. Word on the street is, it’ll tug at your heartstrings harder than a toddler pulling at your shoelaces. The cast, featuring the ever-charming Dmitry Endaltsev, Danila Krasnov, and Stepan Belozerov, alongside producer Anna Alexandrova, recently shared insights with Renata Piotrovsky. They argue this series is akin to a psychotherapy session. And I’ve got to say, if real therapy worked as well as this, we’d all be running out of tissues!
Dmitry Endaltsev
“I first fell in love in kindergarten. What came out of this was a wonderful friendship and vivid memories that will last a lifetime. I don’t know what genre it would be if this story were made into a movie, but it’s definitely not a drama, more like a Bollywood anime!”
Now, isn’t that the cutest thing you’ve ever heard? Kindergarten crushes should come with a documentary crew, honestly. You’ve got bright crayons, juice boxes, and shattered dreams, wrapped up in a glittery, macaroni art masterpiece of emotional trauma!
“The main conflict between fathers and children today: parents are trying to close their holes and realize their own dreams through their child, and children are desperately fighting for the banal need to simply become themselves. And it is important to find within ourselves the strength and wisdom to accept and respect each other as we are. Moreover, it is important to agree on this at the same time.”
Now, let’s unpack that Pinterest-worthy statement, shall we? It’s practically a parent-child soap opera at this point! Parents wrapped up in their own unresolved issues like a burrito? Check. Kids just trying to get a foothold in their own chaotic lives while fending off the existential dread? Double-check! Throw in some advice on mutual acceptance and you’ve got yourself a recipe for both catharsis and a potential therapy bill. Psychotherapy might get a run for its money if this series hits all the right notes!
“I am sure that in “Polyhedrons” everyone will see for themselves exactly the problem that the time has come for them to tackle. By the way, this is how any film should work!”
A profound statement, Dmitry! And it rings true! That’s like saying our problems are customizable. Just like an origami project gone right; they fold neatly into our lives and we’re left wondering which bit will come back to haunt us next! And let’s be real, every time a character faces their emotional demons, we just get a little more invested. Who doesn’t love a good transformation arc?
“My favorite love stories in cinema are “Pretty Woman”, “Notting Hill”, “The Lake House”, “Reality Changers” and “Bodyguard.”
Ah, the classics! Who doesn’t love a bit of romantic nostalgia? From Julia Roberts teaching Richard Gere how to love (and spend a fortune) to Keanu Reeves dragging us through time and space in a love letter to…time travel? The cinematic love stories list could go on for days, especially when you add in the stupidly over-the-top plot twists!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dubova Events for their invaluable support in orchestrating this project.
