Helena Ganjalyan & Bartosz Szpak

Why are two directors better than one?

Helen – Well, it is like in the best offers – you pay for one but get two. Also – they can bilocate.

Bart – Sifting through ideas to find the best one is waaaaay faster.

Would You rather make people laugh or cry?

Helen – In most of the photos from my childhood I am actually laughing while crying and I guess that is the best combo, that I would love to offer to the audience.

Bart – I’d rather do both, within the same scene.

Why AI can’t direct?

Helen – Because it is a living, vivid process, during which you have to react here and now, have the ability to notice small things that make a big difference; it’s about the imperfections that make something unique or saying „cut” just a bit later than actor thought you will.

Bart – Well, it won’t giggle quietly at a well delivered joke, wait for cut to burst in laughter together with the DP or actor and make the energy thus obtained carry the team somewhere further. It can make decisions based on preexisting data.

What is the best type of pasta?

Helen – The one in front of me (love them all). But, you know, it is all about matching the sauce well to the shape of each pasta.

Bart – Pici. Thick, irregular, even distribution of sauce.

If for the rest of Your life You would have to shoot at one set – where/what would it be?

Helen – Anywhere, just put Mads Mikkelsen there.

Bart – Mountain hut in the Alps – with occasional ski breaks.
