Directors Statement

"My Garage!" is a story about the clash between good and evil, told through the everyday reality of provincial Russia. It was important for me to explore how, in the midst of a tangible, real-world conflict—such as the demolition of an old residential district in the city center—people find themselves facing moral choices. Some act out of self-interest, others follow the call of their hearts, sometimes without even fully understanding why. This is a story about those who preserve their inner faith—whether in themselves, their heritage, or God. The idea for the film first came to me in 2019, initially as a sketch for a social drama. I wanted to talk about these “old sheds” that seem unnecessary to anyone but, in reality, are part of family memories and the cultural fabric of generations. Gradually, a mystical subtext wove itself into the story—a metaphor for a higher force protecting what appears insignificant. Filming took place in Samara, my hometown, which gave the film a special authenticity. We aimed for a visually expressive language: the camera wasn’t just an observer but an active storyteller. Many scenes were shot in a single take, using a dolly and a camera cart to create a smooth and emotionally immersive experience. I wanted the audience not only to appreciate the film’s visual appeal but also to ask themselves an important question: *How do I act in life—do I follow my heart, or do I choose convenience?* Even when it seems that evil has won, in the very end, I wanted to leave a sense of hope—that despite losses, goodness still finds a way.
