The comedy "Darling, I won't call You back" won the ORIGINAL+ festival

The fantastic comedy "Darling, I won't call you back", which was 70% shot using Virtual Production technology, became the winner in the Innovation nomination at the IV festival of artistic content of the ORIGINAL+ streaming platforms. This was reported by Izvestia on February 28.

Using Virtual Production allowed the creators not only to recreate a colorful and fantastic world on the screen, but also to embody the very idea of the film. The film harmoniously intertwines the virtual world and the real one.

With the help of LED screens, eight virtual locations were created on the set, each of which refers to the works of great artists — Van Gogh, Bosch, Hockney and embodies the consciousness of a character.

In addition, the project is characterized by a symbiosis of real actors and digital elements: a three-dimensional crowd that interacted with live actors was created using photogrammetry.

The film will be released in theaters on March 6. It is being released by the distributor NMG Kinoprokat (part of the National Media Group holding). The film was created by ID Production in collaboration with Okko online cinema with the support of NMG.

The day before in The premiere of the comedy "Darling, I won't call you Back" directed by Alexander Fomin took place in Moscow. According to the plot, a young metropolitan advertiser, Danya, suffers from delayed life syndrome: he works a lot, tries to do everything, and it does not bring him happiness. Danya only dreams of a fictional future when he finally earns enough to live in a mansion by the sea with a beauty from social networks.

Suddenly, the main character falls into a coma and finds himself in the hallway of the afterlife, which suspiciously resembles an airport. There are only two flights — either to hell or to heaven, but Dania does not give up hope of finding another door, and for now she spends her time in a bar called "Darling, I won't call you back."

The main roles were played by Nikita Efremov, Agatha Mutseniece, Jan Tsapnik and Evgenia Dobrovolskaya.
