“I also needed nine attempts for one backup!” “Influencer” Evelina Pārker has a bright role in the new comedy “Say Yes!” | Without Taboo

The creators of the popular film “New Year’s Taxi” come up with a modern love story of young people – the romantic comedy “Say Yes!” -, in which the main roles will be played by Lelde Dreimane, Evelīna Pārkere, Jurijs Djakonovs and Nauris Brikmanis. “Say Yes!” is the first Latvian feature film that, after a long break, on August 13, experiences its premiere in cinemas. The filmmakers do not deny that holding the premiere in the summer, especially in a pandemic, is a big dare.

Say “Yes!” the premiere was scheduled for Valentine’s Day, but was postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Director Maris Martinsons and the creative team decided not to wait any longer and gave the film to a wider audience in August, known as the wedding month, no less a romantic time to watch something new from the romantic comedy genre.

Hopefully not everyone is at the wedding. Maybe someone will come to the movie between weddings. I believe that the film should not sleep on the shelf for too long. A love story can always appeal to people, no matter winter or summer. We live in that [pandēmijas] in reality, but someone has to start doing it (ed. – to come up with the premiere). We realized that we wanted to tell a story, to show it.

Ilze Roķe, director of Baltic Content Media, says that organizing the premiere at this time is a serious challenge.

It would be a challenge to release a Latvian film on cinema screens in the summer even under normal conditions, but during a pandemic, it is twice as big. I think we are brave, we know that other Latvian film producers will follow each step of our advertising very closely and also the results in order to make the final decision, to release their films on the screens or to wait for another year. We are, of course, looking forward to the viewers’ desire to watch home cinema and active cinema tickets – thus supporting both cinemas and the film’s creative team, because the film industry is really going through very difficult times.

“Say Yes!” Is a story about love, friendship and relationships among young people, when feelings are so fragile and intensified, director Martinsons tells about the hard work.

The ensemble of actors Lelde Dreimane, Jurijs Djakonovs and Evelīna Pārkere, whose debut on the big cinema screens, and musician, improviser Nauris Brikmanis will lead through the twists and turns of love.

Already in September, the movie “Say Yes!” will also reach the next generation of Go3 TV users.

We are proud and happy that it is “Say Yes!” will be the first film produced in Latvia, which will reach the cinema screens since the beginning of the pandemic. The event is also significant in that this is also the first Go3 co-produced film to hit the big screens, and will be available to Go3 customers in September. We all need entertainment right now, which is “easy” and positive, and that’s exactly what the movie “Say Yes!” Is like, so I recommend everyone to watch it.
