That Girl from Ukraine
This is a story inspired by true events, about a girl who moved out of Ukraine, because of the war in her country. Upon arriving to Poland, in the camp, she meets with an older guy, who seems helpful and responsible and caring and helps hosting her for a night before she travels to her friend to another city. As events unfold, they seem to have found a friend in each other. But his past troubled experiences with women, and his life experiences, let his male ego come into this new relationship, which eventually takes a turn and a friendship which could have done well for both to start a new life, comes to an end.

I’ve been passionate about filmmaking ever since I was 16 years, and started working as a freelance cameraman in order to work with a camera and learn arts and the life experiences, along with, while working in my fathers garage to be able to pay for lifestyle and studies. I first tried producing and directing my indie film productions during 2007, although we couldn't finish it, but then, that was one fine learning experience in my life. Over the years I’ve lived traveled and worked in more than 30 countries and with a strong background in management and advertising, I’ve always continued to dream and keep my passion for filmmaking alive. And, now it’s time to cherish these emotions finally, when I’ve completed my first feature film, and, I’m happy having achieved my goals. Today, I stand as one of those independent gorilla filmmaker, who continues to work with passion and cherish every moment thus, feeling the bliss and happiness within. Now after completing one film, I’m even more experienced and eager to continue working with my independent filmmaking. Thanks to my father, who let me dream and believe in my dreams and above all, motivated me to be passionate in life and with works. No matter how simple my first film is, it is a film, crafted with years of passion and lots of hard work. Thank You Universe, for all the goodness. Thank You!
Passions drive to craft a character in a person, keep your passions alive. Over time, with experience, it builds a fine attitude to your lifestyle. A filmmaker, should just make films, no matter how simple or with what gear, its important, to tell your story the way you want to.
