A passionate aspiring director and producer with a keen eye for storytelling from Almaty, Kazakhstan 2023 Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellowship Finalist
From childhood, her dream was to be helpful to people and become a lawyer. Chasing dream in 2018 by living in Saint Petersburg and getting a bachelor's degree in legal studies she realized that there are so many other ways she can be more helpful to people than in a large corrupted legal system in the CIS countries. For her, it’s important to work there where culture, life, and people are close to her concepts, traditional approach, and stamina, where she can express the voice of people. Therefore, filmmaking appeared as a sphere with great respect for traditions and a liberal approach to innovations and improvement.
She has never complained about the past because the law education as the strongest foundation, gave her a lot - communicability, perseverance, an analytical warehouse of mind, the ability to prioritize, work, and learn in stressful situations, as well as strong confidence in what you do and say.
Further, she came back to her city after graduation. She has been working in film crews, various forums, and media publications. She experienced all the work of each film crew member because she worked in every position. Last 3 years she has been working as a 1AD, producer, writer, and script supervisor.
Here is 2023 year, and it’s the 5th year she has been working as a filmmaker, but only in February 2023 she mustered up the courage and directed her first short film. Having crossed this barrier, she pulled out all her old scripts and decided to give them a chance to be filmed. She hopes that her interest in the international sphere, the European approach, the East soul, and her love of native philosophy will make a strong friendship with every person who wants to develop, build, and create something together.
