ABOUT ME:

I am a filmmaker based in London. My passion for visual arts has grown out of an early obsession with the classical violin. It is the formal beauty of music that I strive for within a cinematic language.

Experimenting with 16mm film in my first degree in Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins allowed me to get a feeling for the texture of images. These experiments reached a more formal expression at the National Film School, from which I graduated in 2008 with an MA degree in Documentary Direction. Why documentary? I was inspired by the rhythms of the everyday and the secrets which the most ordinary moments revealed at close encounter.

My graduation film Goleshovo has traveled the world and received fifteen awards, including a BBC Development Award, the Don Quixote Award in Krakow and the Talent Dove at Leipzig film festival.

I am now working on my first feature film.
