About me

Hello,

I'm a Russian speaking journalist/filmmaker currently based in London and looking for a full-time permanent position in media/PR sector.

I am fluent in both Russian and English.

I'm 27 and I have a degree in journalism from Kazan State University in Russia.

I have just completed an MA course in Screen Documentary at Goldsmiths College, London University, on a British Council Chevening Scholarship for which I was one of 13 successful candidates out of more than 800 who applied from all over Russia.

Last year I researched, produced, directed and edited my own 25-minute documentary film on cryonics in Russia called 'Defrost Me When Ready'. My film was shown at the Quadrangle Film Festival in Kent in September 2011.

I worked as freelance researcher and assistant producer for various production companies in London, but would like to find a full-time position.

You may see the full film on my vimeo page
