‘I want to play a blind superhero boy’: ‘Aunt Martha’ star on new projects, dreams and unusual hobbies

The protagonist of the series is a popular blogger. You have 180 thousand subscribers on one of the social networks, you regularly publish new content. If you fantasize, do you see yourself as a blogger in the future?

So far I only see myself in movies. An actress or someone else. (Smiling.) It seems to me that this is only mine. I like the cinema very much.

What do you like most about filming?

The process itself, meeting interesting people, experiences, new places. It’s cool when there are expeditions. For example, we recently filmed in Karelia, which I imagined a little differently. The movie got me there. It was very beautiful in Sortavala! Especially Marble Canyon. It’s unusual that the stones are all on top of each other. You have to build a pyramid and make a wish. (Smiling.)

Many actors say they don’t like watching their work. and you? For example, have you seen Aunt Martha?

“Aunt Martha” – yes. (Smiling.) I look at myself from the other side: where and what I overplayed or underplayed, I make some corrections for myself in the future to prevent it in the future.

Your colleagues from the series “Aunt Martha” praised you and emphasized that you are very responsible in your work, generally noted many positive qualities. Where do you think it comes from?

Probably thanks to my mother and family. Plus experience, I watch colleagues, take notes, learn. (Smiling.)

How do you usually prepare for a shooting day? what are you doing the day before

They send me an SMS, I read it several times, then I repeat it at night and in the morning I already know it by heart. There are readings, costumes and make-up before the shoot. However, in the TV series “Youth” the image was the same: a black sweatshirt, black jeans, black sneakers, a white T-shirt, my ponytail – and that’s it. (Laughter.)

In the next STS series – “Daddy’s Daughters” – you are similar to the heroine. And here?

This is unusual for me, because my heroine in Youth really loves computer games, unlike me, she is an e-athlete. And when I read the text, I didn’t understand half of the words, because there are a lot of game expressions. But the internet saved me. (Smiling.)

You said you like ceramics, you play the ukulele. do you continue it? Maybe something added to this list?

This list is constantly changing. For example, dance, Rubik’s cube, speed cubing have been added. I continue to study English, German also appeared, but it is part of the school curriculum. (Smiling.)

As an adult, I have only one question: “How do you manage it all?” Especially considering that your filmography is replenished with new projects.

I don’t know. (Laughs) I don’t have enough hours in the day. I wish there were fifty or so because I don’t have time to do everything. I start to do something, then I understand: there is still a bit left and I have to go to sleep. And so I manage something by myself, I do something during lunch on the set, between scenes and of course in my free time. I try to fill every minute with something interesting.

Many actors like to sleep at noon, but you, as it turns out, spend your time actively?

I do my homework, then I do something else. Even if I come to a few scenes, I always have a huge backpack with me, where there is a book, a tablet and a Rubik’s cube. Everything is there! (Laughter.)

You once admitted that you were writing a screenplay about polluting the planet. Did you manage to complete it?

Not yet, I’m currently working on a short film and an animated film. The theme of the short film is also ecology, and the cartoon is about a penguin. I won’t say anything else for now. (Smiling.)

Can you draw it yourself?

Yes, I’m already drawing. I have a program that you can use to create cartoons.

What do you do to keep your internal battery from dying? After all, you have so many activities and projects.

For that, my mother and I have a minute of hugs. We hug and recharge. (Smiling.)

You once said that it is not your mother, but you choose the projects yourself. What scripts are they sending you now?

More often they send something modern, there are few historical projects. I mainly disagree with projects that touch on some honest topics.

And if you dream, what would you like?

Play boy! I had a heroine with short hair, but this is not quite right. I would like the boy hero to understand his nature, behavior, why he does what he does. I’ve never had a role like that. It would be interesting to play a hero with superpowers, or maybe a disability. Maybe a blind boy, but at the same time a superhero. Oops, I thought of something. (Laughter.)

And what do you like to watch? What genres of movies do you like?

I love everything: Soviet films, modern, cartoons, historical and fantasy. And my favorite is probably the last movie. (Smiling.) So all the last ones were interesting: very funny “Leader of the Redskins”, beautiful “Avatar”, “Hello, I’m your aunt!”, “Prisoner from the Caucasus or Shurik’s new adventures.” I liked Ivanovs-Ivanovs from the series.

What shows do you like?

Sometimes I look at the recipes, and then I go to repeat. For example, “ProSTO kitchen” on the same STS. You can say that I wake up with the channel and fall asleep. (Smiling.)
