I am a Ukrainian filmmaker, photographer, and artist, born in 2004 in Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2014, I moved to Kyiv with my family due to the first Russian invasion. In 2018, I studied acting at the Kyiv Theater Studio “11” and later majored in audiovisual arts and production at the Kyiv Film and New Media Academy. After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, I fled to Prague, Czech Republic, where I freelanced as a photographer and videographer, and also worked briefly at a VFX post-production studio. In April 2022, I moved to the US, freelancing in Washington, D.C., and working at a local camera rental company. In February 2023, I enrolled in the film program at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. After earning my associate degree, I transferred to the university’s online Visual Arts Bachelor program and moved to New York City to further pursue my film career.
