Born and raised in Russia, I spent over 10 years performing and directing plays at a local theater. After moving to the US in 2013, I graduated from School of Visual Arts and AFI Conservatory.

I've made award-winning short films in both Russia and the US. "Remember Us" (2015) sold at Cannes Marche du Film; "Bound" premiered at the Rhode Island International Film Festival in 2020; and "Like Us" premiered at AFI Film Festival Conservatory showcase in 2021, receiving over 140 thousand views since its release on DUST.

I've also written feature films, including historical drama SILVER, which made it to Academy Nicholl Fellowship Quarterfinals in 2022. Currently, I'm co-writing an undisclosed feature film with director Theo Lindquist in LA.
