Bad Film, Good Director

This channel is where I break down the real decisions behind making a scene work: not the theory, but the moment on set when theory stops helping and you have to figure it out yourself.

Bad film. Getting better.

I'm a film director from Siberia, currently based in Berlin. I've been making films since I was 12 — short films, experimental work, psychological drama — and having them fail in interesting ways ever since.

Everything here comes from actual production — failed scenes, collapsed collaborations, films that made it to Rome and Amsterdam and ones that didn't make it anywhere.
