TV series creation
The producers of the series "Heavenly Relatives" are Boris and Sergey Shefir, Vladimir Zelensky and Andrey Yakovlev. The filming process was completed in December 2012 - according to the director Bogdan Drobyazko, he had long planned to shoot a lyrically mystical humorous series, so the proposed script from Kvartal 95 came in handy. Initially, Celestial Relatives was conceived as a full-length film, but due to the crisis, it was decided to split it into a small number of episodes.
The main roles in the series were played by such famous actors as Pavel Derevyanko, Artem Tkachenko, Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, Andrey Urgant and even the Ukrainian artist Potap.
"Heavenly Relatives" was filmed in the center of the Ukrainian capital - on the territory of the Baron's Castle, standing near the Golden Gate. This building was chosen because of its neglect, which was the best fit to create the mystical atmosphere of the series. Filming the protagonist's invisible relatives proved to be quite difficult, since the actors were supposed to be seen by the cameras and the director - but not by the real heroes. In this regard, the director of the series had to come up with various tricks so as not to violate the geometry of the frame. The finished series was broadcast by the Ukrainian TV channel "Inter" - you can also watch it on the Internet on sites with online films.
