I worked on several internationally acclaimed projects including documentary Nicky’s Family which was awarded 40 prestigious awards worldwide including Best Documentary 2011 on Montreal International Film Festival. During past years I wrote, co-wrote, co-directed edited and produced numerous projects which included both feature length projects, documentaries and student movies. I also acted in several films including a Christmas feature length fairy tale movie Orest or a highly ambitious student movie, Magic Show which is set to be released in summer 2015. In 2013 I received WAFTA award at University of Southampton for best editing of a short movie Medieval Dream. I was also involved in more than 30 University television projects between 2013-2014. Recently I co-directed a documentary movie with feature reenactments “Through The Eyes of Photographer” which is set to be released this year. Currently I also work on a larger scale feature length European co-production movie “Never Give Up”. | |||
