About me:

As a passionate film student with a particular fondness for documentary filmmaking, I’m deeply interested in research and pre-production stages. I have worked on multiple international independent production and was amused by amount of knowledge I can get from a driven team.

As a Ukrainian-Turkish I often tend to work on documentaries that focus on my culture, but I am eager to explore different approaches and topics.
