Alexander Boyarsky - producer, screenwriter, actor, musician ...

Surname Boyarsky is known throughout the CIS, but in St. Petersburg it acquires a special sound. How many representatives of the Boyarsky dynasty brought fame to the national theater and cinema! However, there are no less famous namesake who also live in this city and also brought glory to the Russian film industry, in which there are now two Alexander Boyarsky.

One of the famous Russian theatrical dynasties

One of them, Boyarsky Alexander Sergeevich (1938-1980), belongs to the famous theatrical dynasty. He is the elder brother of the father of the famous Mikhail Boyarsky. After the divorce of his parents, Alexander stayed with his mother and from 1947 lived in Riga. From 1967 to 1980, he starred in 6 films from the Leningrad and Riga Film Studios. Killed as a result of an accident in Bulgaria, during the tour of his theater. The founder of the glorious dynasty of Leningrad actors was also Alexander Boyarsky (1885-1937), bishop, later Metropolitan of Ivanovo and Kineshma. He was shot in 1937.

Another Boyarsky Alexander

Fans of cinema and fans of the famous Leningrad dynasty of dynasty, of course, know and remember this actor, but now the name and surname Alexander Boyarsky is more associated with the head of the studio "Mill", because there are few people left in the CIS countries who are not familiar with his studio and her Products. His work deserves the kindest words. Who does not know Luntik? Everyone knows him, as Uncle Stepu once did.

The first steps of the studio

This project was launched by Alexander Boyarsky, whose biography is completely unknown. In one article they mentioned that he is 45 years old. He received his higher education at the Leningrad Institute of Film Engineers, who graduated in 1987. All other messages concern only his creativity. Maybe this is correct. Lived earlier and had no idea what kind of growth, which diet, who the wife. Also, there are no reports of his belonging to the famous Leningrad dynasty anywhere. However, there are a lot of detailed reports about creativity - that's good.

15 years is a term!

By simple arithmetic calculations, we can calculate that Alexander Boyarsky started the creation of the main (at the moment) his brainchild at the age of 30, because the studio "Mill" this year turns 15 years old. This is the deadline. Especially considering how brilliant the results were achieved by its creators. Without detracting from the merits of other domestic, especially Petersburg, animators (a major studio "Petersburg"), without fear of beautiful words, we can say that the collective of "Mill" revived the domestic animation and restored its former glory. And this is not an exaggeration. Children's series about Luntik and the Barboskin, "heroic cycle", a cartoon about Carlik Nose - everything is in love and in demand.

Two cartoons about Ivan Tsarevich and Ser Wolf - the leaders of the rental. Films are quoted, as the best Soviet cartoons were once quoted, for example, of all the characters of Winnie the Pooh.

Sow good, reasonable, eternal ...

Alexander Boyarsky is a producer, screenwriter, actor and simply an ascetic of his work. The largest studio for today, producing animated films, was created by him and his colleagues from scratch and without state support. This is a fully commercial project. And the more pleasant it is to note the fact that the authors did not for one iota give up the principles of high morality, an integral part of Soviet animation. Russian animators produce good, witty and out-of-date films. And while the product pays off, bringing profit, which made it possible to turn a modest studio into a large modern enterprise with a permanent staff of 300 people. All are high-class specialists, passionate about their work.

Highest level of employees

The anniversary of "Mill" will be celebrated in a new building that meets modern professional requirements. Leaders can attract co-stars of domestic cinema. It should be noted that since the moment of the studio's creation, the star of the world-level animation is working in it - Konstantin Bronzit. He is not known to the general public only because his masterpieces, which received all conceivable and unthinkable world-class awards, have never been shown to domestic viewers, they have never been told about in popular programs. Studio cherishes them and is proud.

The birth of the studio

And it all began more than modestly - with the small founded in 1992 together with Valentin Vasenkov "Midi-Cinema", a small recording studio. In 1999, to fulfill the order of the NTV channel for the release of the 4-episode film about the Emerald City, the animation studio "Mill" was created. Forward did not look far, the name gave the first, came to mind - "Midi-Cinema" was located on Mill Street. Contracts with drafters concluded temporary. To get the necessary money, moonlighting musicians - Alexander Boyarsky played the bass guitar. This is another dash, talking about the uncommon and multifaceted nature. Four series of "Adventures in the Emerald City" were released, but no follow-up. And if this work can not be called very successful, but the creators did not disappoint, but it was the beginning of the road. The films began to appear one by one, and each of the succeeding ones was more successful than the previous one. The ideas of films began to be sent by mail - from the student of Dnepropetrovsk Maxim Sveshnikov sent a funny story about Alyosha Popovich. The cartoon about Ilya Muromets became a breakthrough in the box office. And the Shamakhan queen paid off all the costs previously incurred.

Domestic animation is the best in the world

For the subsequent animated films "Mills" in cinemas began to allocate evening sessions. Young people went to these cartoons. The products of the most successful and large animation studio in the country are ahead of the advertised American films. For example, "The Hobbits". In the press there were data that the New Year's version of the "Three Bogatyrs" paid off 12 times in 10 days of the holiday rental.

Since 2001, the studio has a department of special effects, and recently "Mill" is working on the manufacture of 3D products. This is the merit of the team, headed by Alexander Boyarsky. The filmography of the studio includes favorite fairy tales, epics, historical subjects and simple everyday sketches. And all this has recently brought international awards and profits.
