BIO
My name is Sashka and I’m a filmmaker. I studied philosophy at the University of McGill, and have worked as a videographer and video editor for the last 5 years.
Most prominently my experience lies in educational videos, music videos, and short promotional reels. Currently my focus lies in further developing my skills in the sphere of documentary filmmamking.
I was born in Houston, Texas but raised in Moscow, Russia until the age of 15, at which point I moved to Canada for 6 years. In may of 2018 I moved to Armenia after being a volunteer there for 10 months, and in January of 2019 I co-founded Creopia Productions, a visual arts production company with a mission for social impact.
Fluent in English and Russian. Not so fluent in French and Armenian.
Based in Vanadzor, Armenia for the foreseeable future.
