I immigrated to the US when I was a teenager from the Ukraine, after working in various professions throughout my life, I became a professional stand up comedian in New York City rising to regular performer at Comic Strip live, Broadway Comedy Club and Stand Up NY for ten years. This all led me to acting training, writing and filmmaking eventually, it's been a wonderful journey and I am grateful for the opportunity and the ability to make perform and make films. I always loved telling stories about my past in Ukraine and growing up in NYC, so during the pandemic when everything shut down including no acting gigs I picked up a camera and started filming.
As a struggling actor in the middle of the Pandemic I Picked up a camera, bought some lighting on ebay, learned sound recording and started shooting films by myself on a zero budget, it was a tough process with alot of anxiety, I didnt have money to get help and did not have any contacts in the industry other then fellow actors I worked with. Even post production I had to learn editing techniques, tools. I Thank all the actors that helped me get these projects done and I am grateful to the film community for posting youtube videos, guides, that helped me along the way. To say I learned alot would be an understatement, I learned all aspects of filmmaking and I am hooked for the future. I commend all the filmmakers out there, this is an enormous undertaking especially for a fraction of a tiny skeleton crew or one person. Both of my films The Redeemables and The Redeemables 2 were made under a $5000 budget.
