About Me

WELCOME TO MY PAGE!

About me…Ok. Where would I start?
I'm a Filmmaker, a Writer, a Poet, a Singer/Songwriter, a Linguist, a Musician.
I wear many hats, sometimes too many. I try to wear all of them well, doing the best I can. I live many lives through this lifetime. I try to live all of them honestly, putting all my love and soul into every minute of it.

About me
MY PAST:
In my previous Russian life I was a volunteer working with orphanages; I was a part of Russian Presidential PR team promoting non-profit organizations (still ashamed of being a part of that “team” :D ); a regional manager for the biggest international marketing company in Russia.
I was published as a poet in several Russian magazines. In year 2000 my poetry was included in a book of selective verses. I won several festivals as a singer/songwriter in Nizhny Novgorod and Chelyabinsk.
MY PRESENT:
I am here in New York. I am a filmmaker.
I study at Digital Film Academy in Manhattan and I work hard to learn as much as I can. “In a Pickle” (please check out the trailer on this page) was my first movie that I wrote, directed and edited. It was made in November 2006 and turned out to be very inspiring experience for me.
Right now I am in pre-production for my second short which is a pure experiment for me personally as it is completely out of my normal range. The shooting is planned for May. Hopefully, it will be successful. I keep my fingers crossed.
As a writer, I have just finished a feature script called “The Young Pioneer”. It is a drama about a Russian family adapting to new life after Soviet Union had collapsed. It was written with Western audience in mind and reveals something that I feel American and European people do not quiet understand about Russia. Recently I started working on a romantic comedy (again with Russian theme) called “Mail Bride” (pretty self explanatory, I guess). I am also working on a treatment for a horror movie that I plan to finish in November 2007.
I still write poetry and songs. I love writing in English. There is something very special about this language for me: the way it sounds, the way words come together. It is like a magic puzzle. You are welcome to check out my poetry in my Blog section and I will be posting couple of my songs shortly.
MY FUTURE:
I have lots of plans for the upcoming years. The main thing I plan is to continue working hard, learning, making movies and write! I will keep you guys posted as I move along.
Again, thanks for visiting my page. Please, feel free to leave your comment. I love meeting new people! Hope life is treating you well. Keep in touch.
This is a short documentary about a wonderful musician Jess Furman
