About
I am a Kyiv-based local producer, fixer, researcher and documentary producer with more than 10 years of experience working with international broadcasters, production companies and filmmakers across Ukraine.
My work covers documentary production, current affairs and news, from early-stage research and contributor casting to access, field production, logistics, translation and archive research. I have worked with BBC, HBO, Sky, Channel 4, DW, CBC, VPRO, TF1, France 2, France 24, RAI, ORF, AP, Bloomberg, The Times and other international media.
Selected documentary credits include Mariupol: The People’s Story (BBC / Top Hat), Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes(Sky / HBO), Viktor (Protozoa Pictures), The Zelensky Story (BBC / 72 Films), Taken: Putin’s Stolen Children (BBC / Top Hat), Sanatorium (BBC Storyville / Venom), and Trump, Ukraine and Europe on the Edge (BBC Panorama).
Projects I have worked on have received recognition including Peabody, Emmy, Cinema Eye Honors, RTS and Broadcast Awards, and have premiered at festivals including Berlinale, TIFF, IDFA and CPH.
Alongside production, I am a sociologist with a PhD in Sociology and a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. My academic background is particularly useful for research-heavy documentaries, complex social and political stories, interviewing, qualitative research and finding contributors beyond the usual media networks.
Based in Kyiv and available for assignments across Ukraine.
