Hi,
I am a producer / director of an independent documentary series Czas Drogi which is now at the pre-production stage. We are looking for crew help during our time in Russia and possibly Kazakhstan in October / November. We will be travelling from the Lithuanian border all the way to Troitsk over the course of 30 days (maximum).
We are mainly looking for Fixers (translating, location scouting, occasional driving) or even Coproducers in these areas, but any help will be valued as this is our first time shooting in Russia and Kazakhstan.
We are a crew of 4 people, with 2 people (+ gear) travelling in a car and 2 people travelling on a tandem bicycle from Poland to Kazakhstan (more about the project itself below). Because we are not supported by any company or a TV station, we will be financing this film mostly ourselves and therefore we are mainly looking for people who want the experience of working on such a project and are willing to offer us favourable rates for their services.
PROJECT INFO
Czas Drogi follows a story of a young couple travelling from Poland to Kazakhstan on a Tandem Bicycle within 2 months. Starting at the end of September, Szymon and Adrianna plan to make a 5000km journey from Poland through Lithuania, Latvia, Russia through to the capital of Kazakhstan – Astana. They plan on getting to know and absorbing local culture of each place they visit, which includes following places:
– Dzūkija National Park, Lithuania
– Trakai Island Castle, Lithuania
– Vilnius, Lithuania
– Daugavpils, Latvia
– Rāzna National Park, Latvia
– Velikiye Luki, Russia
– Moscow, Russia
– Kazan, Russia
– Chelyabinsk, Russia
– Troitsk, Russian border with Kazakhstan
– Astana, Kazakhstan
Most of the story, however, will include local people and places which are not as popular as the ones listed above. We are excited to visit eastern countries and the main objective for our film is to show that travelling to such places can be easy, affordable and most importantly – safe.
