Alexander Ermolaev||FrameTamer

The studio is a cozy, creative chaos: posters, figurines, the soft glow of ring lights. In the center are two chairs, a table with water and notes between them, and neatly arranged recording equipment nearby. Rina, the red-haired host, sits slightly leaning forward. Loose waves of hair frame her face, a dark green sweater contrasting with the fiery shade of her locks. Her eyes gleam with excitement and genuine interest. “So, Sasha, no filters today? I want to hear what really touches you,” she says, adjusting the microphone. Across from him is Frame Tamer (Alexander Ermolaev). His pose is relaxed, yet radiates inner composure. Dark, slightly tousled hair, a black T-shirt with a simple print, and an unbuttoned dark gray hoodie. His gaze is direct, sometimes he looks away, choosing his words, and then looks at Rina again. He grins: "No Filters" is a challenge. I'm one of those people who thinks, "Do I really need to say this?" But I'll give it a try. It's fascinating to me now how old stories just keep popping up when you think you've figured it all out... Rina nods, makes a note, and looks up again: "So you're getting to know yourself again through memories? Tell me about one such moment—even a small one." Alexander freezes, listens to himself, and begins to speak more slowly, more carefully. Rina tilts her head slightly, catching the intonations, and smiles faintly. The studio is quiet—only their voices and the soft rustle of the recordings.
