I am so thrilled to present this weeks featured filmmaker, Oleg Kaylan.

Oleg lives and produces wedding films in Moscow, Russia.  His work is absolutely beautiful.   His cinematography is amazing but it was his intimate honest storytelling style is what drew me to his work.    Below is the first clip of his that I saw.

After seeing that I contacted Oleg and asked him to show us another example and was surprised to see this example,  which was as not only as compelling as the first,  but showed a very different approach as well.  I was so impressed with Oleg’s versatility in the way in which he produces his films.

Michail & Nadya Wedding Highlights, “Zima” By Oleg Kalyan

I asked Oleg to describe his approach on this wedding film:
“I provide here some details into idea of making a narrative clip, the words are read by the bride and groom give some insight. I wanted to go beyond typical highlights, possibly into a narrative, sort of a short “novel” form.
The theme “Letter to the Future” has been particularly interesting, important to me for a while. In essence doing a video of a wedding, that means to be viewed in years to come, for the future, by the future generations, possibly children and grandchildren.”

(Here is the translation although it sounds much nicer in Russian)
The Bride: Why do people write letters?

For the reason that it’s easier to express your thoughts, feelings, longings and wishes on the paper, easier than plainly to say it.

And it’ll become unimportant what will will happen today and tomorrow.

Beautiful joy or thorough trials, doesn’t matter, if is done together from now on.

The Groom: Yes, so many thoughts I want to share with you, yet I understand that

Words are not enough can not display the depths of how I care how incapable are the words to express that what makes our hearts to beat in accord.

I see us in many years to come, when we have so many experiences, our children will grow up, we still be lost in not having enough words to express all that we feel!

Oleg’s market includes Moscow Russia as well as through Europe. Thanks Oleg for sharing this beautiful work.
