Kirill Sokolov
The talents of versatile Russian writer/director Kirill Sokolov were brought to the attention of Western audiences via the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia in 2018. A riotous, action-filled black comedy, Sokolov's debut film, "Why don't you just die?," draws upon the cinematic styles of his favorite directors, Sergio Leone, Martin McDonagh, Park Chan-wook, Martin Scorsese, and, of course, Quentin Tarantino. Although his first full-length feature film is distinctly Russian, uniquely characterized as a Western-style action film playing out within the confines of a Moscow apartment, Sokolov endeavors to tell a universal story that international audiences will still be able to relate to. Sokolov was born in 1989 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In 2012, he received a master's degree in the Physics and Technology of Nanostructures. However, even as he worked to complete his degree in Physics, he began making short films with his friends, initially using just ketchup as blood. Inspired by films such as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly," "Evil Dead 2," "Oldboy," and "Kill Bill" Volumes 1 and 2, Sokolov discovered that he had both a love and a talent for dark comedy, a genre which has yet to gain popularity in Russia. In 2013, when Sokolov's filmmaking hobby started to consume all of his time, he enrolled in a program for Advanced Courses for Film Directors and Scriptwriters (VKSR) at the workshop of V. Khotinenko, P. Finn, and V. Fenchenko. In 2015 he successfully defended his diploma with the short film "The Flame." In addition to his debut film, "Why don't you just die?" Sokolov has edited several Russian full-length feature films, written several full-length screenplays, and directed music videos and commercials.

Kirill Zaytsev
Up until 2017 Kirill Zaitsev was primarily known as a stage actor. That changed when he landed the lead role in the Russian blockbuster film Dvizhenie vverkh (2017), directed by Anton Megerdichev . Kirill played Sergey Belov, who was the star player on the 1972 Soviet Olympic basketball team that defeated the USA. The movie grossed 50mm USD (the biggest grossing movie in Russia), and made Kirill famous in Russia as well as recognized as a lead actor who can not only carry a show on the stage but also on the big screen. Kirill, the oldest of two children, his younger sister is Valentina Zaitseva, was born in Volgograd, Russia, to a professional sports family. Both his parents finished from the sports academy. His father was a professional in the hammer throw, while his mother was a professional shot-putter. As a child, Kirill was a very inquisitive and passionate child. From a young age he actively participated in competitive swimming, as well as track & field, dancing and basketball. In addition to being very athletic, Kirill showed a high interest in and talent for music. Throughout his childhood Kirill studied guitar at a professional music school. He would eventually graduate from that school before going on to university. However, it wasn't athletics or music that truly piqued Kirill's interest, it was the "Navigation Club" that he was a part of in school that gave him the passion for the sea and the desire to become a merchant marine profession. In 2005, Kirill decided to study at the Admiral Makarov State Maritime Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. During his studies and time at sea, he traveled to more than 20 countries. It was this education and experience that allowed him to participate in world-renowned regattas in the Mediterranean and the North Sea, on the 100-meter tall ship Mir. Kirill also gained extensive experience working on oil tankers that were located on the shores of America and Canada. It was during this period in his life that he intensively and extensively studied and practiced English. Upon graduation from the academy in 2011, Kirill decided to move to Riga, Latvia. Upon arriving to Riga, Kirill immediately started looking for a job outside of his profession as a merchant marine. After a year in Riga without any serious work, he came across an ad for actors from the Mikhail Chekhov Riga Russian Theater. It was then that he knew what he wanted to do with his life and he immediately applied and was accepted to the Latvian Academy of Culture where he studied acting under Igor Konyaev and Elena Chernaya of the Riga Russian Theater. It wasn't long after he began his studies that he started receiving roles at the theatre. Some of his earliest roles, which were shown on the main stage of the theatre, included plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, and Dostoevsky. During his last year of studies at the academy he received his first offer to appear in a movie, the feature film Melanijas hronika (2016), directed by Viesturs Kairiss. Over the years, Kirill has been a stable face at the Riga Russian Theater, however, that changed after the success of the film Dvizhenie vverkh (2017). Shortly after Dvizhenie vverkh (2017), Kirill decided to move to Moscow and immediately he started being recognized for his talent and getting offers for lead roles. Since his permanent move to Moscow in early 2018, Kirill has appeared in the historical drama Trotskiy (2017), which won The Association of Film and Television Producers in Russia award in multiple categories, Gogol (2017), Gogol.

She began acting after high school as part of a theatre troupe. Her stage name was Yuuki Chiho. Years later she would relay that she only started acting for the money.

Her marriage to fellow trouper Kishida Shin came to an end after four years in 1968. She married pop musician Uchida Yuya in 1973.
