About Me:
I am an aspiring filmmaker, writer and general lover of cinema. When I was 6,
I wanted to be an actress and then ever since I was a teen I got into film.
At 17, I had an obsession with Ingmar Bergman and watched almost all his films. Now, I'm mostly into foreign, independent and thought provoking films.
I often recommend films to my friends and family and my mom says that my recommendations are always right on - though I don't know how objective she is :-). Oh yes, I was born in Ukraine and am bilingual in Russian/English.
I currently live in San Francisco and frequent many of the local film festivals.
