Hromadske / Ukrainian Volunteer Service
As part of the project “Close”, the Ukrainian Volunteer Service together with Hromadske asked us to create a video about the brave volunteer Stefan.
Close is a project that highlights the stories of volunteers in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is the story of Stefan, who came under occupation by Russian troops in Nova Kakhovka and, together with his friends, created the Humanity Foundation to help the civilian population. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, they have been helping locals with humanitarian aid, raising money, and risking their lives in the process.
There are many such stories of everyday heroism in this war and it is extremely important to talk about them. Ukrainians are close to Ukrainians is the slogan of this project, which is particularly heartwarming.
Working on this project was extremely important to us. Volunteers are also heroes of this war, and the task of telling the story of one of them so that the viewer not only hears it, but also feels and experiences it was crucial for us.
As part of this cooperation, we created a script for the video, organized and carried out filming with the hero, and made a complete edit.
