Małgorzata Socha and Aleksandra Zagrodzka about “Mischief”: “a film for everyone”
“Mischief” is a production worth going to the cinema with the whole family. Due to the variety of threads and the universality of the story, everyone will be able to find something for themselves in it. What exactly will he talk about?
“About maturing, about setting boundaries, fighting for your reasons – those hidden deep in your heart and opposing such established patterns. (…) A very nice story, so energetic, very positive. Lots of humor, lots of nice emotions. I think this is a film for everyone,” Małgorzata Socha said in the “halo tu polsat” studio.
Aleksandra Zagrodzka told the audience about the emotions she felt while making the film alongside a famous actress:
“I had a great time working with Małgosia. I think she is a wonderful person. She played a little role and, outside the film, she was a mother to me.”
Interestingly, the filming of “Mischief” took place in Slovakia, so it was decided that the underage Zagrodzka would be accompanied by her entire family on the set.
“Ola was cared for by her relatives, she had a wonderful grandfather. (…) For me, an adult woman, especially since I was at work, it was so natural. It was easier for me to deal with it. Oleńka was taken away from the home environment, so we really had to create a home for her there. We all cared for her very much on the set, but the grandfather was irreplaceable,” Socha recalled.
Initially, working with a pet turned out to be a challenge. Katarzyna Cichopek, who hosted the breakfast program with Maciej Kurzajewski that day, noticed that making a film with animals is always difficult.
“At the very beginning, I was very, very curious how I would be able to play with Sprytek at all. We had training and after the second training I felt a bond with him and it was great working on the set, I was very happy. It was my first film with a dog, a great experience,” Zagrodzka recalled. The actresses also admitted that dog treats played an important role in the success of the project and work with the animal.
