Frame from the film “moving up”
One of the first days of shooting of the film “moving up” was on the final scene in which the focus is on the shot that decided the outcome of the meeting with the American team three seconds before the time expires. For a moment there is a timeout during which coach of the USSR Vladimir Kondrashin, the role played by Vladimir Mashkov has explained to his team a plan of action.
The future film producer Leonid Vereshchagin explained that Mashkov has agreed to a role as soon as I read the script:Mashkov read the script and he loved it. Because there is the gamma feelings. There are so many dramatic moments and many emotions. The iron will of the coach of that era, who selflessly went to his goal. Was risking very much.

The work on “moving up” will be hard – just now on the basketball court involved six cameras, one of which moves faster than the ball. This is required in order to as accurately as possible to convey what happened 44 years ago at the Olympics in Munich. There is still 1.5 years of filming – besides Moscow, the film team is planning to visit Lithuania, Georgia, USA.
