On March 27-31, the premiere screening of Two Lives, a 12-episode criminal melodrama, took place on air of Ukraina TV channel.
FOUNDLAND PICTURES LIMITED provided a portion of services during the shooting in Ukraine. We reached Sergey Radchenko, Ukrainian actor playing one of the lead roles in the series and asked him to comment the shooting process.
“The film is interesting because all key characters are somehow reborn: somebody becomes better, and somebody comes to the dark side. It is a fight of good and evil of sorts,” Sergey says. “My character Andrey is no exception: at first glance, he seems to be a good person but then we find out what really drives him. Still, I believe that the audience will understand in the end where my character comes from and will be able to sympathize with him.”
