PRODUCER | FIRST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR | FILMMAKER
 
ABOUT ME
Professional photography, set design, top-notch photo editing and retouching
I am a filmmaker working as a Producer and 1st Assistant Director across feature films, short films, and commercial productions.

Born in Vyborg and raised in Moscow, I began in theater before moving into film and television. I trained at the Higher School of Television and Radio Broadcasting Ostankino in Moscow and earned a BFA in Film & Media Arts from the University of Utah.

I am currently pursuing an MFA in Film Producing at Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts, one of the top film schools in the United States, where I focus on development, production management, and large-scale narrative filmmaking.

My work centers on production structure, scheduling, and on-set execution. I collaborate closely with directors and directors of photography to translate creative intent into efficient, controlled workflows. I have experience managing large crews, coordinating complex logistics, and directing high-energy sequences.

In addition to independent and academic productions, I have worked in professional production environments, including an internship at BW Productions, supporting pre-production, budgeting, and scheduling.

I approach filmmaking through a balance of creative collaboration and operational clarity, with an emphasis on disciplined execution and seamless production processes behind the scenes.
