‘Bucha’ Producers Seek Major Streaming Deal For First Narrative Film Shot In Ukraine Since Russia’s Full-Scale Invasion
'Bucha,' the first Ukrainian narrative feature shot in Ukraine since Russia's invasion, is seeking a streaming distribution deal.
Director Stanislav Tiunov and writer-producer Oleksandr Schur unveiled a nearly finished rough cut of the film at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, the second anniversary of Russia’s brutal assault. The movie tells the heroic story of Konstantin Gudauskas, a Jewish man from Kazakhstan who risked his life to rescue hundreds of Ukrainians trapped in the city of Bucha and nearby towns outside Kyiv, after Russia began its bombardment and ground invasion of Ukraine. “They’re trying to get a major streaming platform — Netflix, Apple, whoever is willing to go forward with this, because it’s not an easy film for Americans to process while the war is still going on,” explained Mariietta Volynska, who attended the Bucha screening and assisted the director in communicating in English.
