Film crew
The drama “Hugging the Sky” was created by the production company of Alexander Litvinov with the support of the Mosfilm film concern. The director of the project was Fadeeva Milena. Prior to that, Milena Petrovna had experience working on the film “Hello, Kinder!” with Svetlana Ivanova in the title role.
Milena Fadeeva wrote the script for the picture on her own. She also controlled the casting process, because a good drama can not be built if the actors and roles were unsuccessfully selected. Hugging the Sky was a project that brought together both beginners and well-known artists.
An experienced cameraman Radik Oskarov stood behind the camera, having shot the multi-part melodrama The Eldest Daughter, the crime film City Spies and the television series Salami.
The series was produced by Alexander Litvinov, who previously oversaw the military drama Star.
