The Making Of This Film:
While performing twice a day, 6 days a week, at Cirque Avaia in the summer of 2007 in Niagara Falls, the film crew was simultaneously in production in Toronto for “Drink Tea Outside”. The crew consisted of people currently residing in Canada, Russia and Belarus. Since the majority of the crew were performers at the shows, they coordinated stunts, constructed sets, and designed most of the wardrobe themselves. It was shot in over 30 locations, 3 cities and features 14 original soundtracks created for the film in Canada and Russia.
Film screenings are held in Toronto (Canada) and Novosibirsk (Russia).
