Director’s statement
“Children are a wonderful audience. A lot of people think that children are the most demanding and difficult audience that exists. This is not true. Children are the sweetest, the most grateful and the most loyal audience. Why? Because they love stories. They absorb every story where there is a character who is in trouble, a goal, enemies, and friends. They love the protagonists and they love the antagonists. They crack out with laughter with even weak jokes. They call out to the screen "Don't go in there!" and "Watch out, behind you!", they hold their breath when tension grows and hide their heads under the armpit of their parents when the heroes are in danger. And it doesn't matter to them, whether it's a cartoon, a long animated film or an actor's film - when entering a cinema hall or firing up a laptop they count on a journey to another world, for the magical 2 hours and take everything as a good coin.
Double Trouble was to be a closed whole. I wrote the script with such an intention and entered the set. But after the film was finished I had a feeling that Julka, the main character, still had things to do. That's why the Triple Trouble was created.
For a second time, I came across a great team - people who are not only ultra-capable, but also care about the film as much as I do. I love working with people, feeling that we're like a good team and shooting the same goal. Then the most beautiful things can happen”.
