Was born 1986 in famous Kherson, Ukraine. Constructing and drawing some things get all my free time from childhood. I’ve got my higher education studying fine arts in pedagogical university, combining it with work as a designer. Now work at a local TV channel, but don’t think it’s the way of my life. The filmmaking is a part of searching of myself, I think… This film is the first really work with a camera.
