Being interested in cinematography since childhood I decided to commit my career to film directing. After finishing Anastasia Virsaladze Art Gymnasium, Film and Theatre Directing Faculty I graduated from Georgian University, Film and TV Directing faculty.
Starting my career in television I have over 15 years of experience editing digital video stories, news and multimedia content. Currently, I work in the South Caucasus media organization Go Group Media/Jam-News as a director, editor and camerawoman. I also edit film trailers for the International film festival CinéDOC -Tbilisi.
In 2019 I launched my film company “Studio CHVEN”.
My longtime goal to work and direct my own film came true as I submitted my first film project (I Have no Wings) to CinéDOC-Summer School 2018. Summer School was an incredible experience for me, as I worked alongside professional documentary filmmakers and received feedbacks and recommendations on my project.
The next step in my directing carrier was Civil Pitch 2019.
Civil Pitch is an annual project of the CinéDOC-Tbilisi documentary film festival which is designed to connect filmmakers and non-governmental organizations to turn the public’s attention towards challenging and highly relevant issues of modern Georgian society.
“Identity in Process” – my second film project, won the Development Award at the Civil Pitch 2019.
I was selected to participate in the 2020 edition of the Talents Nest platform of Meeting Point - Vilnius. However, due to the coronavirus situation in the world, the 2020 edition of Meeting Point Vilnius was cancelled. Fortunately, I got this opportunity in the 2021online edition.
In 2021, I participated in the joint training of EsoDoc and Chai Khana in Georgia
Currently, I am working on my first short feature film "Another Me", to participate in a short film competition for people with disabilities, announced by MAC Georgia and Radio Liberty.
