filmmaker
I’m excited to announce that I’m embarking on a passion project: a no-budget indie film inspired by H.G. Wells’ classic 1898 novel The War of the Worlds.
I’m stubborn. I don’t let lack of experience stop me from trying. So I jumped in. I cut 80% of the film. Let that sink in. All that work. All that planning. All those scenes. Gone.
I left my home for Hollywood to chase a dream of becoming a cinematographer, but one shocking moment changed everything and led me to directing.
Filmmaking isn’t easy – it’s a decade-long grind of passion, persistence, and hard work. From a small village in Ukraine to Hollywood, here’s my journey of chasing dreams, questioning my path, and striving to create the one film that changes everything.
Spooked was more than a film – it was a challenge to push myself as a director, actor, and filmmaker. From shooting solo to stepping in front of the camera, this journey taught me the beauty and terror of acting while refining my craft behind the lens.
I launched a YouTube channel to share my filmmaking journey and inspire others. I’m still learning the ropes of content creation, it’s been a bumpy yet exciting ride. Join me as I navigate this new chapter and chase my dream of turning creativity into a career!
