Hi there!
I'm a filmmaker with over 12 years of experience working in Russia, Armenia, and the UK. I have created short films, documentary projects, and music videos, collaborating with independent studios and emerging production companies.

I have led projects from concept and script development to final editing, handling tasks in development, production coordination, and post-production.

I've produced over 35 short films, fully responsible for the script, casting, directing, editing, and finalization.
This experience allowed me to:
- Hone storytelling skills
- Refine directorial instincts when working with actors
- Find visually expressive solutions
- Select strong team members and work effectively with them

KEY PROJECTS:

1. DIRECTING & PRODUCTION

DIVING IN ARMENIA (Diving Club)
Produced and directed over 50 videos for a diving club at Lake Sevan, Armenia, including promotional, entertainment, and documentary content.

BABIES FROM MITINO (Music Video for Antoniy Kopenkin)
Developed the concept, assembled the team, and directed a music video that blends irony and nostalgia. Managed casting, locations, and logistics to highlight the contrast between the authentic girls from Mitino and the polished characters from other Moscow districts.

THE MAKING OF KAPELNIK (1-2-3 Production)
Developed and conducted interviews, shot behind-the-scenes footage, and edited a documentary about the hit series Kapelnik.

2. WRITING

ECHOES OF MY FATHER (Independent Production):
Wrote the screenplay for a feature-length drama based on a true story and psychotherapy session materials. Currently in pre-production in Russia.

KAPELNIK (1-2-3 Production)
Worked in the writers' room for a high-rated Russian TV series about drug addiction in the show business world. Focused on scene structure, character arcs, and medical consulting.

3. EDITING & POST-PRODUCTION

TENTURA FILM EDITORS:
Worked as an Assistant Editor on multiple Russian Film and TV projects, including the sci-fi series "Superpozitsiya," the feature drama "Nedetskiy dom," and the TV series "Monastyr."
Performed technical tasks such as syncing audio and video, recoding footage, and organizing assets. Additionally, assisted in scene assembly and rough cuts for "Superpozitsiya" and "Nedetskiy dom," under the supervision of the lead editor.

JELLYSMACK (Global Creator Projects)
Edited short-form content for YouTube creators, adapting long-form videos for Instagram Reels and TikTok, adding animations, subtitles, and sound effects.


MY APPROACH TO WORK:

I believe that quality should never be compromised, but I stay flexible in finding solutions, especially when deadlines or the overall concept are at stake.

I dive deeply into every project, conducting multiple script rewrites, rehearsals, camera tests, and pre-shoots. I always have a clear visual picture in mind and am willing to go the extra mile to bring it to life.

I genuinely enjoy working with people, easily finding common ground with different personalities - even those who might be challenging. My screenwriting background helps me enhance story structure and emotional impact, while my directing experience enables me to work effectively with actors to bring out the best in each scene.

I'd love to join a strong team where I can apply my skills and bring some serious creative energy to the table.
Let's make some magic!
