Director Biography - Анастасия Евгеньевна Попова

Попова Анастасия Евгеньевна

Born in Ufa in 1997. I have been involved in creative work since childhood. At the age of 9, I began writing poetry. I studied at the Yeralash studio. After finishing school, I entered the Ufa Oil Technical University. But I was more interested in cinema than in engineering. I worked as an engineer for about a year. At the age of 19, I shot my first trial film, “Kind Heart.” A twenty-minute short film, wordless and in black and white. This film took 3rd place at a small festival in Ufa, “Progress.” After that, I shot four more short films in Ufa. I also worked as an assistant director on the set of TVC series in Ufa.

At the age of 23, I moved to Moscow and entered VGIK in the workshop of A.A. Proshkin, specializing in “Film Directing.” I continue to shoot films in Moscow. My last three works were shot in this city. I write all the scripts for my films myself (except for the film “Connect”). Currently working as a video editor on the Zvezda TV channel.

I also write poetry, publish in publications and perform at creative events.
