Actor Shamil Khamatov about the director:
“Polina Oldenburg does not at all look like a debutante director - she works just fine. Almost always in a good mood, she generously shares it with the entire film crew. As for filming and camera, it happens that even directors with an impressive list of films do not fully understand how the "inner kitchen" actually works. I enjoyed being part of the filming process: it was fun to work with such a great team. Many thanks to Polina for this. She managed to create an atmosphere of true love on the site. And even in the final, when everyone was already a little tired, she charged with her energy. It was an unforgettable experience. "
