Jimzlenz : Tell me Roman when did you start out in film ?
Roman : You can call me Mr Obalenshavich if you feel more comfortable, but to answer your question I got my inspiration many years back when I first met that legendary cameraman Bryan Neesdon when I was a stunt double working on the epic production “Goodbye forever” .
Jimzlenz : I don’t recall that movie
Roman : A seminal work , we became friends and we have worked collaboratively on many occasions since . You may have seen our most recent work “Queensland 2006, a short film by Bryan”.
Jimzlens: Can’t say I have, I must look it out in theatres
Roman : Yes you should it depicts the epic tail of two friends in a desperate attempt to escape the humdrum of urban existences and their tyrannical wives , confronting the might of the Australian outback and all it can throw at them. Without wanting to spoil it let me say there is an exemplary piece of stunt driving as a 4x4 buries itself in the engine-bay of a Golf GTI, I’ll leave it to your imagination as to who comes off better !!
Jimzlenz : Sounds riveting ! What else have you done recently ?
Roman : Well last year Bryan and I put together a documentary series on Alaska and Canada which given the close confines of the mobile film studio did prove a little testing at times . Never the less we did capture some priceless footage of Canadian wildlife in particular.
Jimzlenz : Well that’s all we have time for Roman but a big thank you for coming into the studio, I’m sure we will hear more of your works .
Roman : Cheers, thanks a lot .
