Director's thoughts

At the moment, the director is 80 years old and continues to pass on his knowledge and skills to the next generation. O. L. Kudryashov noticed some thingswhich, in his opinion, prevent future actors from developing their potential.

The first problem is that money comes first for them, i.e. they will work where they pay more, which, in the director's opinion, does not give the actors a sense of freedom.

The second problem is that young people are increasingly absorbing the virtual world. Now people have begun to look at each other less and less, they have stopped trying to imbue a person, understand him, get into his soul. Looking at each other, we see some virtual image that we ourselves have come up with, and it does not always correspond to reality. And for actors, it matters a lot. After all, as Oleg Kudryashov says, because of this, we are getting poorer and losing some depth. The director is of the opinion that the main thing for an actor is a kind of contagiousness, a gift to carry along.
