This dynamic video gives viewers the main character and the challenges she has to overcome on her way to the dream. The first teaser trailer is already available.
“On our way to a major dream we often come across challenges that seem to be impossible to overcome. This happens everywhere: at work, in creative activities, in personal life. And although story of Pulse movie seems to be focused on sport issues in the first place, in fact, the central topics and problems of the movie are quite universal. It is an incredibly powerful and motivating story that may really inspire. It is an example for many people how to follow their dream, overcome any challenges and finally be victorious,” says Pulse producer Egor Olesov.
And a few things more about the movie: it tells the story of a young Ukrainian field athlete who lives in a small town and has a big dream – to take part in the Olympics. Her competitive career has just begun, but after a terrible car accident the girl suffers severe injuries and almost loses her eyesight. It seems that Oksana has no other choice but to forget not only about the long wished Olympics, but also about a normal life. However, the girl is not going to give up and wishes to prove that there are no obstacles on the way to make the real dream come true.
Pulse is a biographical sports drama based on the real story of the Ukrainian champion Oksana Boturchuk. The first trailer was pre-premiered as part of the project presentation at Warsaw International Film Festival. Emotional story of incredible commitment and will to win of the Ukrainian athlete impressed the participants of the presentation.
“I am very happy that Pulse was chosen from hundreds of other films at Warsaw Film Festival. After presentation of the work materials, I received a lot of feedback that this is just the kind of movie currently in demand in the world. Pulse presents Ukraine in a new perspective, and the European distributors' interest is the best evidence of this.
I believe we can get this story across as many people as possible, and this is just the beginning. As we say in Pulse – Live. Dream. Overcome,” confided the movie director Serhii Chebotarenko.
Official partner of the first Ukrainian movie about the life of athletes is Kyivstar national mobile operator.
“We traditionally support contemporary Ukrainian movie-making, which is of significant social and cultural value. And already at the stage of the screenplay, it has become obvious that Pulse is just a kind of movie that can inspire millions of Ukrainians to fight and win despite all the difficulties,” commented Yurii Chornenkyi, Head of Kyivstar Marketing Communications Department.
The shooting of Pulse sports drama was finished in early autumn.
The producer of Pulse movie is KINOROB company, and also the Government of Ukraine and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine supported the project.
