Ukrainian director Oles Sanin talked about the terrible tragedy that happened to the team of the film 'Dovbush.' He reported that five people died and seven disappeared without a trace. About 70 members of the film crew are currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The director also noted that the film suffered losses. The war took five members of the crew who had recently worked on the successful Ukrainian film of 2023. In addition, seven people are considered missing.

'Speaking of the film crew of 'Dovbush,' five died, seven disappeared without a trace, 70 are now serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Defense Forces, including actors, stunt performers, film technicians, artists, cameramen. The cinematographer of the film, Serhiy Mykhailiuk, is currently in the Armed Forces, in reconnaissance, and literally he is somewhere on the front line in the Kursk region. Two actors are in the 68th Oleksa Dovbush Jaeger Brigade,' Sanin quotes 'Detector media.'

However, amid the bad news, there are also positive points. The director talked about the success of costume designer Halyna Otenko, who received awards from the Polish Film Academy for her work. Also, part of the film crew found work in neighboring film industries abroad.

'Part of the production team, a very good part, left with their children abroad, and most of them are now working in neighboring film industries in their profession. Halyna Otenko, our costume designer, during the war created five feature films as a costume designer in Poland and received two awards from the Polish Film Academy for this. While the war is ongoing, I am often asked about my next film. But I say: my next film is victory,' stated the director of 'Dovbush.'

The film 'Dovbush' collected 8.7 million hryvnias at the box office during the first weekend. In addition, the Netflix platform is considering the possibility of creating a four-series version of this film.
