Dantes is launching a film production company and working on his debut film

Ukrainian singer and TV host Volodymyr Dantes has founded his own production company, Piece of Studio, and has begun work on his debut feature film, *Pause*. The project has already made it to the finals of the “Tysyachovesna” presidential grant program.

The dramedy will tell the story of a millennial couple who, after five years of dating, decide to take a break to reevaluate their feelings.

Yuriy Karagodin, Yevgen Zhuravlev, and Fima Konstantinovsky are working on the screenplay. Yaroslav Lodygin is directing the film, Mikhail Lyubarsky is the cinematographer, and Vladlen Odudenko is the production designer.

Currently, “Pause” is competing for state funding but ranks 225th out of 290 projects participating in the competitive selection process.
