31 # Editing of the first season, winter hibernation and a cool start at the end of January 2013.

Pavel struggled with the decision whether to cancel the project or start over. Vague doubts and emotional vacillations continued. But the goal was clear: to finish the series and release it at any cost, no matter where, as long as it’s released.

There were many options, because while Pavel was editing, he was also calling film distribution companies to get them to at least notice the series and decide on its premiere.

But everything changed when Pavel contacted the company “Russian Happiness” LLC and the opportunity arose to release the series on DVD.

The first premiere of the series Another Reality took place on DVD (which, as of now in 2024, is an addition to the scenes with flashbacks for the third season), then in the spring of 2013, 5,000 copies were made, all the discs were sold in 2 months.

The series was then pirated, and during the same month of piracy, it garnered over 2 million views online (though only two of the 13 episodes were posted), incurring losses of over 500,000 rubles for KARBUSH Film Company LLC. This version of the series can still be found, but instead of 13 episodes, only two are available for online viewing.

By the way, the series had already undergone multiple re-edits by this point, especially in a staggered fashion, because the disruptions in filming played a cruel joke, because it was necessary to reassemble and film the storyline to the end, and if the actor left, then it was impossible to film.
