About Me

I'm a writer and aspiring scriptwriter, now based in Tbilisi, Georgia. In love with good stories, funny people and beautiful places.

After graduation from University three years ago I moved to Moscow from the south of Russia because I received a job proposal. Since then I've been working in politics full-time and as a freelance journalist part-time. Despite the career, Art has always been my great passion, both its contemplation and practicing. In summer of 2015 I was lucky enough to be a part of a wonderful Canadian-American-Russian cinema project which inspired me to try my hand at screenwriting. Right now I'm about to shoot my debut film.

Interests

What I prefer to do is: set free the emotions by playing the piano, share passion through the piece of paper, gather wisdom from experience, learn beauty from nature, search for inspiration in human beings, find love in simple things.
