Project: Plan B: Emigration, an independent experimental series about emigrant life in Spain
Director: Zara Demidova
Producer: NINO PROYECTO, Barcelona
Delivered: trailer, three pilot episodes of 27–39 minutes, vertical clips
Language: Russian, translated into English and Spanish
My role: director of photography, editing, music, post-production
Four emigrant friends live for a year in one house near Barcelona. Each of them takes on tasks tied to their fears, such as language, money, work and loneliness, and the show uses elements of cognitive therapy to help them cope with the stress of starting over. Director Zara Demidova built the format; we shot three pilot episodes.
On the pilot I worked as director of photography, then edited the trailer and all three episodes, chose the music and did the post-production. I also cut the first vertical clips for the channel.
