Vinogradova posted on Facebook: “Before the war, my life was similar to those of many sound mixers around the world: call sheets, deadlines, film crews, audio gear, and expressing my love to the world through capturing and editing the sounds of it for audiovisual works. “Now the times have changed, and I, like many other people here, have expanded the range and intensity of my work – I’m participating in multiple humanitarian initiatives while continuing to go out on the shootings with doc crews. Evacuating crowds, bombed areas and brave Ukrainians are in our focus now. As volunteering coordinators, we keep in touch with hot spots and isolated cities and try to fulfill the most urgent needs.
“We do what we can to help, but in these tough times we need a lot of support and resources – for our defense to stay strong, for our volunteers to function properly, for our vulnerable groups to get necessary care, evacuation, and medicines. Even a small amount of money will bring the safety of our people a bit closer.
The idea for the fundraiser came about during a conversation between Vinogradova and Peter Schneider, co-owner of Gotham Sound. Reaching out to colleagues in Ukraine, the U.S., the UK and Germany, they decided that delivering walkie-talkies, which are an essential part of any film or TV production, would be invaluable tools for the relief effort.
