ABOUT ME

I am a passionate filmmaker. Born in Vyborg and raised in Moscow, my early love for theater led me to a career in film and television. I graduated from the Higher School of Television and Radio Broadcasting Ostankino in Moscow and earned a Bachelor's degree in Film & Media Arts from the University of Utah.
As a 1st Assistant Director, Second Unit Director, and Producer, I ensure smooth shooting schedules and collaborate creatively with directors and the Director of Photography to achieve the best final product. I have experience managing large crews, coordinating complex set logistics, and directing high-energy sequences with 80+ extras.
My work spans feature films, short films, and commercial productions, including an internship at BW Productions, where I assist in pre-production, budgeting, and scheduling. My love for travel and storytelling inspires my work, having visited 67+ countries, enriching my cinematic perspective.
Driven by a relentless passion for cinema, I strive to create films that deeply resonate with audiences and leave a lasting impact. My goal is to craft cinematic experiences that connect with people on a profound level while ensuring seamless production execution behind the scenes.
