Notes from Vitaly
Welcome to all our new subscribers. This has been an exciting month at VM Productions. We have been hard at work on the post-production of Dostoyevsky reimagined: the making of "Notes from the new world".
We are pleased to announce that our film Shades of Day - New Director's Cut has been officially selected as part of the Blow-Up Film Fest: Chicago International Arthouse Film Festival.

Great article by Christopher on Mafia Films and a collaborative interview with myself about our film Crime and Punishment, LA and Australian Director, Andrew O'Keefe, on his film Crime and Punishment.
As part of our goal to connect with supporters of our films, we now have a new Film and Book Club, include book and film reviews by Ava. Join in the discussion in our forum or on any of the social media platforms below.
