Director Biography - Ivan Smirnov

Hello! Most part of my life I've lived in Moscow, Russia. I wanted to become an interpreter, but changed many occupations. I spend all my spare time shooting films. Currently I live in a decent neighborhood next to two cats. I am open for collaboration and have ideas for a couple of new pictures. Feel free to contact me via e-mail: john714@yandex.ru

Director Statement

The external appearance often leads to false thoughts about the internal content. When starting acquaintance with a stranger — you never know for sure — how will it end? Each soul has dark recesses and, sometimes, it’s better not to find out what is hidden there. But recesses and secrets exist to intrigue fragile minds with their priceless treasures or mortal dangers, don’t they?
