About

I’m a Ukrainian-born, Connecticut-raised, Boston-educated, Los Angeles transplant. Directing film & TV since 2009, best known for my work on the sketch comedy TV show, Betch.

I love to make stuff. Furniture, friends, progress. But I especially love motion pictures.

Why? Because there’s nothing quite like that feeling: The goosebumps you get when an actor loses themselves in the moment. When the crew moves as one.

When the whole universe feels as though it’s conspiring with you to capture the perfect shot. When you catch that wave… well, for an instant, everything seems just right.

I’m always searching for a great new project. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
