Anton Yelchin and Victor Levin’s film 9 to 5, was the closing night film at the 2015 Cinequest Film Festival. I recollect vividly how patiently Yelchin and Levin stood at the Red Carpet answering all our questions. When it was my turn to interview them I checked with Yelchin if he could speak in Russian. And, he was such a great sport that he readily agreed to say a couple of lines in Russian.

Here is the interview where Yelchin speaks in Russian and Levin explains why and how he got Yelchin to act in his directorial debut film 9 to 5.
