BIOGRAPHY

I have decided to write this letter to you, as a sort of introductory business proposal, hoping that it will be able to reach out to you.

May I start by briefly introducing myself: My name is Oleg Korotenko. I am a Kyiv-based producer, 52 years of age. I have studied moviemaking in Moscow, in Europe and in Ukraine. To highlight my professional record, I put below some of the movies, where I was directly involved with my own service production film company “Danapris-Film” as an executive producer and a host-organizer.

With the great pleasure I would like to invite you, at any time convenient for you to Ukraina

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The film-company “Danapris-Film” was created in 1993 as a limited liability company.


The company declared about itself by the film “Foochow” /1994/ written and directed by Mikhail Illienko. This film was made in co-production with “Belgorodfilm” /Russia/. In 1995 the “Foochow” was invited to the XXV International Rotterdam Film Festival to participate in the extra contest show where the film got the honorable mention and the warmest press and audience reference.


In 1996 together with Italian producers Leo Pescarollo and Guido de Laurentiis in co-production with German, French and Swiss film-makers "Danapris- Film” participated in producing of “The Truce” (1997), directed by Francesco Rosi. It is a film version of the autobiographical novel of the famous Italian writer Primo Levi. The whole film was shot on the locations of the West Ukraine. "Danapris-Film” rendered all necessary services for the production of the film.


In 1997 “The Truce” was included to the contest program of the Film Festival in Cannes. The same year the film was awarded by the premium Davide di Donatello- the main professional award of the Italian cinematography, the analogue of the American “Oscar” in four nominations including “The Best Film”.


In 1997-1998 the company continues working with Italian film-makers. The film “The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean” directed by the rising star of the world cinema Giuseppe Tornatore, the owner of the “Oscar” for his movie “Cinema Paradise” in 1990. The film was made on the Black Sea cost in Odessa. The services for its production were provided by the company "Danapris-Film”. In 1999 the film “The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean” was awarded by the premium Davide di Donatello in five nominations.


In 2002-2003 “Danapris-Film” worked on the film “Evilenko”, together with Pacific Pictures and its famous world producer Mario Catone. Because of force majeure have occurred during the period of pre-production in Russia, our company in the short term was provided friendly support to the producer of the film and that’s why shooting took place in Ukraine. During three month such actors like Malcolm McDowell and Marton Csokas spent their time in Kiev with great pleasure.  Company "Danapris-Film” satisfied all inquiries about the actor’s private riders. The film director David Greco and director of photography Fabio Zamarion were very pleased and have repeatedly said in private conversations that they would love to work in Ukraine again.


In 2003 my company started to work together with Chinese filmmakers, who led the famous director Zhang Yimou. Two-thirds of the movie "House of Flying Daggers" was filmed in western Ukraine. Company Danapris successfully carry out shooting the picture, thanks to the acquisition for many years on behalf of the film production market, and having close ties with all supported companies and structures.

TITLE ???

I would like to draw your particular attention that I am, probably, the only person in the post-Soviet movie production industry that had a chance to provide for many foreign films a ‘completion bond’ service. It is, in my opinion, very important for many producers to have an understanding and responsible partner, capable to guarantee a successful process, regardless of complexity of the task.

TITLE ???

That is, basically, my professional record, giving you a glimpse on my professional expertise and my personal characteristics. I will be more than happy to provide references and recommendation letters from all producers that I had an opportunity to work with.  So, here’s my proposal for your kind consideration:

 

1. All the countries that I have mentioned above: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Republic of Georgia, Romania, Russia, Ukraine have a few things in common: a well-developed moviemaking infrastructure, qualified supporting staff (props, make-up artists, set designers, costume designers, mechanics, lighting, pyrotechnics, visual effects experts, stuntmen etc.); there is also specialized transport and equipment widely available. Almost everywhere there is a developed administrative system for moviemaking. And, sadly, enormous amount of these potential remains unutilized.

 

2. Various natural sites and locations with multiethnic human resources are perfect to realize practically any director’s or producer’s idea. 

 

3. Labour cost, licensing and permit system, materials and the rental costs for everything one may need to make any type of film is much lower than in European Union, US and Canada.   

 

4. American movies have never, I repeat, never been made on these territories. These countries are practically unknown for American producers, as they don’t consider those for producing and promoting their movies. I think that a hidden potential of these countries are much larger, than what we’ve got in European Union. 

 

Therefore, I am deeply convinced that an American producer or a US company, which will move in their production here first, will ultimately be able to reap the most benefits by not only making their own product here, but also by providing some supporting services to others that will, certainly, follow. I also think that some of the Chinese companies are already looking closely at this market now, pondering best approach to advance their movie products here. 

 

So, I hereby forward for your kind consideration a partnership proposal to jointly produce or to provide service support for moviemaking – the details can, certainly, be discussed further. In any case, you can always rely on and my capabilities to implement your projects in these countries.
