How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I am currently staying in my family house outside of town with my husband and mom. There has been much less daily agency work - currently, models are only being shot on FaceTime and mainly for magazines, so I am finally able to work on my personal projects that I had been putting aside for a long time. I am writing a script for my second full-length movie, searching for shooting locations - we walk the woods and fields surrounding the house, I am editing the movie teaser for producers using material I had shot before the pandemic. We have planted a kitchen garden for the first time in a while - nobody knows what the situation in Russia will be like by autumn. More than a million people have already applied for unemployment benefits. There is a fear that things will not get back to what they used to be before, that means that now we need to be rearranging everything we have been building for years. I always dreamt about having more time. Now I have it, but it also takes time to understand how and where to move on. 

 

What is your soundtrack?

Birds’ singing.
