Throughout the years, Maxim Zhestkov has managed to remind you that no matter how good you are, there will always be another who shines slightly stronger. And his latest short “Sputnik” is no exception.
Out of Ulyanovsk, Russia, he stuns viewers around the globe with a crisp eye and pristine style powered by a confident vision. You’ll want to watch this film a couple of times in a row, so get comfortable.
