grief on base of the fight. 9 wall street pod, thank you for helping with enjoy. that's right. fill out her desk slavery with a

. so i have to ask you, the 1st thing is that bad up or down here was very different or is so very different atmosphere and the circumstances and everything totally different . first of all, i mean people are flying up. they're not here here. they're just walking unders gravity, so this is a completely different feeling which i miss already, which i already miss. because the fact that you don't feel any weight. and then you can like push yourself a little bit and fly until you stop yourself. is something you cannot experience here on earth. do you think maybe that you loved it so much because it was something new for you, but if you've been there for 6 months, you'd just be at the and please i'd have to feel carrabas. well, yeah, i'm sure that's a part of it and if i spend there's 6 months, i would miss earth and i wouldn't want to come back as soon as possible. but when i

talked to the customer, us up there, usually their intention is to fly in to spend as much time up there as possible when nice. it's a little different. there are certain certain aspects of life up there that i have to get used to. and i never quite did as you know, washing yourself for eating and going to a toilet. i mean it's, it's very uncomfortable there. you know, a person can use to get, can, can get used to anything pretty much. but those are the aspects that us, that are the hardest to get used to. other than that, i mean it's, it's a state of flight and you know, we have a perspective on the view of earth and nothing and don't you can beat. that must be pretty amazing for you, having not trained your life and dreamt of becoming on the wrong a cosmo to suddenly have that opportunity and become sort of an average person to pay thought, unimaginable. well, i'm technically, i am technically a cosmo,

but i don't feel like i'm on the same level of training and the same level of competence about space and international space station as the guys who trained for 10 years to to be up there. i did dream about that by the way i dreamed about it. when i was a child in russia, it was common, it was eighty's. and when i was about 567, i was very common among russian kids to dream was phase because face me cause when i was world were big heroes back then and people knew their names. unfortunately, they like now did dream one and a huge book in space was this the x. so i was looking at and reading, trying to read it and try to dream about it this for many years. but i, i remember as a kid dreaming about it after that space came back to me with my feature film was called saudi 7 most. so the space came back to my life. and it me actually took

a lot of it because i was also co author of the script i was was re writing the script. and before i started rewrites i had to do a lot of research. you can just start writing anything you had to kind of understand, get a deep understanding of what of the industry and of the history. and i had lived with the, with the space inside of me. and after that i was shooting the film and i was always thinking, oh, how is that up there? and i was trying to imitate it on earth to really i did have, i did have a lot of thoughts, bob space and especially flying up there. what i wanted to ask you actually when you 1st came home and you said to your wife to your mother, 2 children guys daddy's getting to, to space. what was the initial reaction? you know that because they know me, they can expect that to happen. and so that it wasn't that how that happened?

no, no, no, no. and they were very much like, oh okay. have another mad idea? no, no, no, it's totally. it wasn't that they knew i was serious. they, they, they kinda knew because for the new the moon, they knew me pretty well. and so i said is going to have and, and usually happen because respect your mother. and she said that she expected this totally from you. so you've always been the type of person who always wants to go forward and do something new just not comes from. huh. your sense of what we of course of course, from her as well. she said that she'd also like to go to face if she can use adventure. do you think she'd be a good space tourist? yes, she likes to travel. good job. was there a moment where you were on the, i assess, or maybe he did peek into the numerator a moment that struck you and stayed with you when you realized forgive the pump, the gravity of what you were doing here. it was right in the beginning. it was like

a 1st day when i, because the 1st day when we arrived and was very overwhelming. and we were kind of shocked and we were through the take off on the and the docking. and we were very and we were exhausted and you know and shocks, and it was like a mix of those feelings to. yeah, we, i remember when i, we kind of flew around the station and we had a tour of the sky was around the i assess the whole, i says, american section and including the american folks at the end of this tour we, we flew into the don't the cooper and i remember unit i was just like frozen out there, then we stopped flying because it was and we were just looking, which is we were just mesmerized by. and so i guess that was the 1st moment that we realized on why on we are up in the space and you,

we are here, we're here. finally, i mean something. i mean, of course, people with train for years, but for us the training was long to every day after that the realization was getting deeper and i guess in the middle of this, of our stay there, we kind of were used to already being there. but yeah, the 1st moment was the that, that huge perspective of the world of if you, when you down here filming on earth, which must seem really boring you now, you have stuff like light engine is found. you that you have a whole team that you are pretty much one man bonded with you and you and then obviously will because milton off and i was helping you thought did that make your life even more difficult or did i actually make it over more satisfying knowing that you had done it from start to finish all by yourself. of course it did what? she were doing this interview right now. there are 4 guys here. shout out. yeah, for i was just, you know, when a flying when we're not moving,

if we were moving the lights would be somewhere there and there would be sitting up and there will checking the sound and how the here and if we were doing the walk around this office it would we even more people would be more complicated. so yeah, of course, even the simple interview and there and we were shooting like a movie live action film with the, with artistic white. and there was, i was aiming for that. we weren't just, you know, just turning on the light and let's go, no, no we, i was trying to create an atmosphere as cinematic atmosphere there and not to have my shadows over the actors. basically i was trying to make you look pretty because she's a beautiful woman. so i wanted to emphasize that as well. it was difficult. i was also doing the sound engineering and camera mechanics and i was begging up material and i was sending it to earth for my editor to check in for the color

guy. color is to make sure that i'm doing all the technical aspects of it, right. and it's not too dark and it's not too right. and it's not a whole one pass that guys are not focused here. if we were moving around, it would be a problem with focus as well as i was trying to do because we were shooting on the film camera without out of focus. and so i was also flying and doing the focus racking focus. yeah, it was, i mean, but i'm not saying is it because i'm the big of a hero that i was. i knew that that that's going to be like if the technical progress would in some future allow 10 people to go up there. it would be easier for the film, so get me up there. that was preparing for that. i was training for that and you will see in the movie theaters how i what can i do? why myself and stay with you and help you out as well. she, she did her own makeup,

obviously i wasn't doing her makeup and she was she to a coup props because the props were medical, were doing a medical opperation surgery. and so she really understood what each prop is and she kind of was doing. she was like a prop master. so she took that responsibility on to herself. she held that cosmos held to where they were out. while the customers were actors. script was written with the understanding that i couldn't bring other actors there. so i knew that there was would be one actress and the other one would be also in the scene playing on themselves be so how did they do or should they stick to being cosmo? they were good. i mean, they, they are used to being in front of the cameras. they do a lot of tv introductions, solo congratulating people all the time and you know, reading people in there so, so they're used to being in front of the camera. also,

when they are not in the scene, and i was flying around with the camera, one of them would protect me from hitting my head over like lamp or something. that's a problem there as well. because when you, when i look in the, in the viewfinder, i just see view finder. i don't see where i'm flying is where i'm walking. i can sort of when you're walking with your, you have an awareness is facia, why don't do what there because of 4 dimensions. you didn't realize where the ceiling where the, where the wall because everything going to be a ceiling and the wall and the floor. so me space also have advantages to be able to give you something to direct to the can't do. well, of course that's why we went up there because i, i spend a lot of time imitating the 0 gravity and space station. so i know the limitations of what you can do, even with a huge budget, even with $200000000.00 budget, there are limitations. and up there which you're trying to imitate for months

there is just given, you know, everyone's is, is natural for them. when you are directing ah, a space film on earth, it's really, really, i mean, it's hard to twist your brain and assert in, in this, in the for dimension and, and to create and invent a scene in a 0 gravity way. if you knew a scene where 2 people are communicating in a way on earth, i mean they're pretty much standing in front of each other. they're on the floor. it's really uncommon if like a person would be standing on the, on the wall here or on the ceiling. but there, it's very natural, some scenes i shot the way i, i realized that i wouldn't be able to invent on earth because i is just, your mind doesn't twist that way. it's hard. is this technically hard to shoot? it's hard move there. you have to get used to like, and on the earth you say, well,

you get in the door and stand up here. and usually there is no problem with there. and you know, some person can get in the door and up there. and it's just loops that happens. yeah. there's no one more take. so that's that space. oh, i oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask

oh, when i looked showed the wrong when i was just a few feet out. this day becomes the advocate an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground the o entertainment industry, expanding itself into many other aspects of human life. that's a cross promotion. i mean, because of that,

people will realize that spaces and i assess and space is can be closer to people who can it's would be easier for them to reach it and they would get more interested in that and space usually human people think of us have these and they think that all well as something they go somewhere up there and i'm not even close to it. maybe this film and us flying up there when getting prepared in 4 months. can change the mindset a little bit about space and people would say, well, maybe i can shoot a film there, maybe i can fly to space and it doesn't take 10 years for, for person to fly up there. one aspect also the people that talked a little bit is that there is now a movie space race, because of course tom cruise was also due to go up in the autumn. admit, is

a quite nice that you got that fast. are feeling. i'm very competitive. i place force and i used to lou. it's always nice to be 1st. do you think this is going to kick off and not this? so i didn't feel like i don't feel like i closed that. i assess as a filming office and there's nothing more than anyone can do there. no, no, i think it's just the beginning and i, people will look at what i shot there and see, well, okay, now understand what we can do there. and of course, we'll tell it we'll talk about my experience to guess filmmakers who would be interested in also shooting on the i assess and i will kind of share my experience and do's and don'ts and get, i guess they would. the 2nd one, the 2nd sort of filmmaker would it would be much easier for them than you've laid

the past. well, because i kind of, i didn't know what to expect. of course, in many ways. and now i can talk to filmmakers and the filmmaking turf. what it is and what he would, what do you expect and what, what it was you shouldn't even try to do and many things like that space. so gives you a perspective on to itself that is hard to even come up with being on earth like the white also for chris hartfield. that canadian asked me. he said, i think the hardest thing for them is going to be lighting wells. and we also tell, it wasn't really the hardest, it was just the fact that we had to wait for it. sometimes it's just that once every 40 minutes, it changes into being the organ, then it changes back to be light again. but, but those transitions are really magical one because it doesn't, it's not just like the sunset and some it's also something it's hard to come up with. the sun starts to changing into like a rainbow lights. and some seem like we had

a scene where you is sitting in front of the illuminate or would just talking with earth. san starts to change in so many ways and that created a special space magical light, which i mean, you can imitate here, but i wouldn't just, i would have it would, it would not have been able to create that. come up with that. the idea of all of the challenge and how it was born and whether it was something that you knew kind of, that you always want to do and you seize the opportunity. what that you adapted for this opportunity? no, actually when i go to proposition of making directing a film my own space and i knew the limitations that we would have only 2 chairs to go up there and and i didn't want to have too much c,

g i in the film and i wanted to shoot everything real. so i came up with the idea of the story with the those kind of circumstances in mind. but the story was invented originally and producers liked it in the old old between companies the they accepted it right away. so i don't know how to answer, maybe a i and in some way i adapted to the circumstances, circumstances. and in many ways, i seized the opportunity from the time that sort of the idea was born until the launch from by can or how much time passed to little more than a year to year in one month. i think for a long time, did you find that you got the help of ross cosmos as well? well, that was one of the producers. exactly. did you find that they really helped and invested well in time america and with their help and investments and would be impossible. so of course, yeah,

they did. did they did only could to help me with it. of course they, they couldn't do more than they could with that in mind that i assess. so is not a shooting stage. is the science object object of science and you know, cause what else are they're doing? the working, they're really busy love with filming with others. so they did everything i guess they possibly could. they will. so we, i mean we focused a lot of course on you and you look you were making the fast feature length film and space. this is obviously you apply and this of that, but obviously people watching you back home probably a bit worried as well. we are children really excited when they heard that you were going to go. yeah, they were, they were well, my daughter was kind of nervous a little bit and she was crying at the launch, my smile, the son was very confident he at least he looked like that. he never expressed any fear for me. and my youngest son is just too young to,

to kind of realize what's going on. do you have any connection when you, way i call them? i call them when we had a cello video connection. the one time i really had no time for many phone calls. there really is you probably have noticed i was kind of like a beard when i, when they went and i didn't have one before, like i really didn't have time there to shave. it just takes a lot of like 5 times longer and i was like, well, do i really need to shave? maybe i can shoot and start shooting laughter a lot of days. yeah. yeah. so the process is take there longer than on earth. if i was there for a couple of months, then i would start missing them and everything, but in that short period of time, when so much work to do, i really didn't have time to miss was take off all the launch order was more light, you know, it was more like a, like a, a ride like

a roller coaster ride. and these roller coaster ride descend the, the launch, which was not as bad as people think we experienced only 2 and a half. geez, i think the g for the g for the g force only that it was. i think it was 2 and a half only, so it wasn't bad at all. the landing was thinking of for maybe foreign a half when we were trained for aid so. so it wasn't bad at all. no that though the landing was when the parachute opener was like the the castle was going like this, but again i thought it would be going like $360.00 before we before the wedding or american astronaut shane. and shane said that he did a twice and he was like a wild ride. it was a while. right. what i thought it would be like 10 times wilder. so yeah, it's square right it. and then when you came, she said obviously it's not just about preparing for being that so said when you

come back and you were then taken, i think star city want you to acclimatize. yeah, we adapt to live. there were 3 or 4 days of that. was it difficult? no, the last one was on when you take out of them were there were because your head had to adjust to the dearest cope in your head. didn't realize we get where the florian or the ceiling and so it took me 22923 days for that are to kind of start walking confidently. you look pretty relaxed though. when you learn to leave from the photos. it was something quite cinematic about it. in fact the unit was sitting would have sunglasses on. you were sitting i think your legs crossed. you both just looked like. oh yeah, we've just come back from a ride. was there a huge sense of relief when you got down, but everything had been done safely, but you've gone off and you've done what you set out to do. oh yeah, but you. oh yeah, there was a well like after you do some something being hard

and you feel satisfaction that you've done that and that you went through it and then that you you feel i feel good about myself, that shooting plan that we set out to for, for their for i assess, was, was completely finished and that i shot everything i planned and, and, and it looks pretty good i think, and the producers were happy with it. and i had the feeling of satisfaction of the fact that you completed the huge task. so for you as a director, obviously off is really boring, you've already be in that space. so i mean being that dom that. so what's next? i mean there's nothing left but what models the mean? well, no, it doesn't mean that, you know, i would just expand into the universe and then and then fly into another galactic. no, i don't think like that. i have other projects and it's not boring for me to

shoot us. fill on earth at all. i. i have many projects that are waiting for me to the to get to know after i complete, of course, the principal shooting of the challenge. no, i am very interested in just a simple human stories. maybe they will be somehow in reached by my experience of flying, and maybe i will open them up a little different than i was that i thought, but no, it's not. i'm going to be now flying. get ready to to film on the moon or mars. no, there's no plan like that. you talked about the films being released internationally talking about release. what kind of timeline to think? well, it definitely is going to be no earlier than the end of the next year because of the got a while to, well, you know what you doing up for 12. do you feel that it's a test of the greatest, how we would write him? and as a person, as a filmmaker totally as

a person and of course it. so there is going to be life before that in life after them. then finally, i'm gonna ask you as if they said you want a guy, what you got again. yeah. mit not this week, but maybe next thursday i can do that. well let me go, i'll just a climb on i, it's to gravity. i have some other, some things i have to finish before i go back again. okay, well thank you so much. is the month you cannot wait to see the phone, i think so much. oh, it states it has to be rash, to be able to afford enzyme. and fun is a luxury good for sure. despite having the most expensive health care system in the world,

we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have more deaths from treatable causes. so americans are suffering every day from it. it's as if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose their customers and dump the sick so also right and satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw. if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decision and determine to get to with 10 who dies to me, that's best getting away with murder. joined me every thursday on the alex simon, she'll. and i'll be speaking together in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm.

ah, to learn a song supporters saying no reason to believe washington's from as soon as he could serve his sentence in australia as a court in london. besides, with us a holiday was unisons to us. throughout the day, all provo figures have been showing up to demand a son should be granted freedom. he would spend the rest of the july in a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that to look for to? somebody can help cry, i've been telling a world the truth, a solution to the energy crisis. this and other big issues of being discussed that an economic form in italian city, overthrown. or today, the opponents, future shaping voices from europe and asia all getting together to brainstorm a key figure from january's capitol hill right. she was caught on camera encouraging people to storm the building is.
