Tomsk Director's Trailer Makes Golden Trailer Award Nomination
In a thrilling twist, the nail-biting trailer for the Russian film, "North Pole," has made it to the revered Golden Trailer Awards! This prestigious international competition, dishing out honors in over 70 categories, will take place in sunny Los Angeles at the end of May. That's right, just like the Oscars, but this time for the best trailer talent!
Maxim Basherin, the Tomsk director behind the hugely successful teaser, shared the news exclusively with RIA Tomsk on Friday. Besides "North Pole," several other Russian productions have also bagged nominations. With five trailers vying for the prize, we'll have to wait until May 30th to find out who takes home the coveted trophy.
According to Basherin, the process of crafting this masterpiece was as enjoyable as it was effortless. However, what makes this trailer stand out is the chilling credit scene that emphasizes the danger lurking beneath the ice. A technique he borrowed from his own trailer for "The Master of Wind," where the opposite approach of using ascending credit titles was employed.
"North Pole" is a heart-pounding Russian adventure-thriller directed by Alexander Kot. It is loosely based on real events from the 1960s when the first Soviet nuclear submarine, "Leninsky Komsomol", dared to sail beneath the icy masses of the Arctic Ocean. Making history, the sub famously surfaced in close proximity to the North Pole, marking a seminal moment in world maritime history.
Now, here's some fascinating trivia you might find intriguing: the Golden Trailer Awards recognize a wide array of categories, such as Best Summer Blockbuster Trailer, Best of Show, and even separate sections for documentaries, action-thrillers, and behind-the-scenes content related to TV and streaming series. Popular streaming giant Apple TV+ has even earned nominations in multiple categories, underlining the range of talent being celebrated at these prestigious awards.
