Contemporary cinema is no longer art. According to discerning experts, it has become a sum of technology. Films are produced by people without special training and equipment. Evgeny Demochka shot a "cool" picture in the "realistic drama" genre.
Starting conditions
Parents always dream of their children living happily. The idea of happiness hardly changes over time. In the same way as the troubles that the grown offspring deliver to their ancestors. Vitaly Evgenievich Demochka was born on December 5, 1970 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the famous city of Ussuriysk. The father died during the construction of a special facility two months after the birth of the child. Mother worked as an engineer in a military unit that paving railroad tracks.
Vitaly studied well at school. His favorite subject was mathematics. Several times he came out as the winner of city Olympiads in exact disciplines. However, this fact helped him in a difficult situation. Demochka could not graduate from school, because he was sent to a colony for hooliganism. In conclusion, he received sufficient criminal "education" to become an authority on the outside. Returning home, Vitaly became a member of one of the criminal gangs. During that period, unemployment in the Far East reached unprecedented proportions. The young people had nothing to do.
On the creative path
The bandits extorted money from those who came to buy cheap cars from Japan. The little girl developed an algorithm of actions and selected the performers. The gangster career was going well. His four tried to eliminate competitors. But the criminal business is always associated with the risk of getting a sentence. And so it happened. Vitaly again “thundered into the zone”. After serving the time appointed by the court, he decided to take up another type of business. In 2004, he decided to shoot a film that still has no analogues in the history of Russian cinema.
As a person accustomed to making decisions and acting, Vitaly took up the project quite seriously. He wrote the script himself. Served as a director. He played a major role and allocated money from his reserves. The film set was the streets of Ussuriysk. The actors themselves were the participants in the events. In some episodes, real blood was poured on the set. Moreover, two "actors" were killed during the filming. Two hundred people took part in the filming. The whole process of creating the picture lasted for a year and a half.
Creativity and personal life
The film, directed by Vitaly Demochka, called "Special", was shown on local television. Federal channels refused to broadcast. Then, on the advice of competent "comrades", the picture was recorded on cassettes and "thrown" on the market. For six months, the circulation of cassettes amounted to over a million copies.
Almost everything is known about Demochka's personal life. He is not officially married. He lives with a woman from Ussuriisk in a civil marriage. The husband and wife are in the legal publishing business. Vitaly writes books, and his wife performs the duties of a literary agent.
