"That's what happens if you have a lot of boxesand ... a child ", - write on their page in the social networks of the spouse Leon McKee and Lilly Lang. They called their creative and family union the "Office of Cardboard Boxes." It all began in 2013, when a couple with a young son Orson moved from New Zealand to Australia. Away from relatives and friends, the spouses were pretty bored. "Our social life has changed dramatically, and we have found a way to spend the weekend a bit more fun," - say Leon and Lilly. After moving to the new house, there were many boxes left. They also became a source of inspiration. Passionate film fans Lilly and Leon decided to reproduce the most memorable moments from their favorite films, where the main character was their little son. No expensive studios and requisites - photographing the couple arrange at home. And the scenery is built from cardboard boxes: the skyscraper King Kong is climbing, the Grand Budapest hotel from the movie of the same name, the cars from Mad Max and even the famous throne from the Game of Thrones.

So three people slowly go crazy, - the couple joke. For their first photo shoot, the family chose the film "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou." Then 6-year-old son was seated behind the wheel of a cardboard submarine. Not long ago, another person joined the "film crew" - little Orson had a brother, Elliot. He "got into the movies" when he couldn't walk yet. Now the family has 85 films to their credit, as well as thousands of subscribers on Instagram and tens of thousands of followers on Facebook. The filming process begins on Saturday at lunch - Lilly and Leon discuss which film they want to recreate. - Usually these are the films we grew up with - from the 80s and 90s, - says Leon. The head of the family builds the cardboard decorations. Usually it takes no more than 5 hours. At this time, the mother is busy with the kids. The shooting takes place in the evening, before the children go to bed. Another star of the shooting process was Orson's teddy bear - Gandhi. Once he appeared in one of the photos, and now, if the toy is not in the photo, subscribers bombard the family with questions: "Where is Orson's teddy bear?" - These photo shoots have become our family tradition, - says Leon. - Even if we do not continue photo shoots every weekend for the rest of our days, we will have something to look back on.
