THE TAKEOFF

Kyiv, 2007. My first music video. I was still in university, and I’d always wanted to shoot — that’s when I knew this was it. Then everything took off, and it didn’t stop for fifteenseventeen! years. 300+ music videos, brand campaigns, live shows — Ukraine, Eastern Europe, California, New York… and beyond.

Van Damme in front of my camera. Alan Ritchson. Gogol Bordello, KAZKA, Sherine. A Coca-Cola Christmas campaign. Best Director at MEMA. Somewhere along the way the views passed three billion — but on set you don’t think about numbers. You think about the next shot.

2018

La Plage

Then I wanted something longer than three minutes.

Normandy. Six weeks. The sea, the wind, a French-Ukrainian crew. We made La Plage — an arthouse drama, the first Ukrainian LGBT feature. I dreamed it up, directed it, produced it. It's about love and relationships — quiet and tender. Watch it if indie cinema is your thing.

2022

SILICON VALLEY

Cut to: Silicon Valley, 2022. New place, same question — what’s next? I founded FIXER, an app for the film industry, and kept shooting: music videos, a new feature just wrapped, and now robots at Skild AI. Machines learning to move. Me, filming them learning. Honestly — great footage.

2026

The plan

The plan from here is simple: keep shooting, keep building. If you’ve got a project — reach out.

P.S.

On AI

About AI — since everyone asks. I know pretty much all the tools and use them every day. They're fast, they're impressive, and they're probably the future. But a shot starts to mean something only when there's a creator's eye behind it. Soul — that's what the job is about. LGTM 

Now you know about me. But the work says it better.

La Plagethe big one

Ukrainian independent film — an anthem of the new wave. Free relationships, non-traditional couples, parental care. Love and infatuation, loyalty and betrayal. It is about those who are not stuck in the world of rules and outdated traditions: heroes break through to their truth through cinematography, music, drugs and sex. Age and gender do not matter — their closeness is a bright emotional outburst against Normandy landscapes, proving that love is beautiful in any form. What destroys principles? An instant feeling or a conscious passion? We are witnessing the beginning of a protest that became a personal revolution.
