Sergei Tselikov, a Russian director, screenwriter, producer. He was born in 1984. From 2002 to 2007 he studied to be a navigator at the Maritime Academy. He served at sea. In 2008 he entered the Directing Department of VGIK. He shot several short films, which won prizes at Russian and international film festivals.
The Blooper is a one-shot short film. A continuous thirteen-minute take required top-level coordination from the entire film crew. And although the film itself was shot in less than a quarter of an hour, it took us about a week to prepare and rehearse it. It was an interesting challenge for me. My previous film was shot in a clip-like manner, so I wanted to expand my experience, work with complex mise-en-scenes, and see if I could keep the viewer's attention by means of intra-frame editing. During the filming shift, we had six takes, three of which we managed not to screw up.
