Brainstorm "Waves"

Music is a magical media that can tune our mood, change our emotions. But not always we are on the same wave with people that are around us. We can like each other from the first sight. But during approaching more and more somethimes we find differences in our attitudes that we cannot deal with.

I knew that Anita Berkhane, with whom I made friends during our work on a project "Circumstances" (2008) is a talented actress always ready to experiment. She never studied acting before but was very organic to any situation. We made this short video clip with Anita, actor Roman Sorokin and my assistant Irina Todyryak during one ride in a trolleybus. We did not have any permissions from the transport department. We just were very comfortable for other passengers and acted naturally.

It's Time

This video was created for a dancing team T1. We wanted to show a character of each team member through different music, different story, different style of dancing. And the one thing that was connecting them - frienship and inspiration to invest their time, emotions, energy to amazing choreography.

All the actors in this video are professional dancers that never studied acting. But the essence of their activity helps them to follow the story, to be natural in the circumstances that are suggested to them.

Dirty Dance

I was asked by a very talented in Moscow dancer, dj and celebrity Sam Zakharov to make a dancing video with a soundtrack "Dirty Dance". And this video had to include some love story.

The music felt sinister and ominous to me. That's why I created a story with a vampire. We were shooting mostly at night in Moscow without permissions that did not cause any problems. It was the highest moment of freedom and creativity with two talented people - Sam Zakharov and Anita Berkhane. I always knew how supportive, undemanding and bright Anita can be. That was the reason I asked her to play the role of the vampire.
