When I was 15 years old I received my first model job in a fashion show. From 15 to 20 years I was working as a model, as a journalist. When I was 20 years old I got my first job as an actress for a music video for a famous singer. Since that time I fell in love with the shooting process. When I was 22 I came to the shooting for the horror movie of my husband Valeriy Pereverzev and since that time I started to realise myself as a producer and screenwriter. After a long period of time we started our relations with Valeriy. And we started to work together on the creative process of making films. After that we got married, make 3 kids and 5 movies..as for me , I graduated from the VGIK University.
-Which artists have inspired you the most?
Famous artists Sergei Eisenstein, Andrej Tarkovskij, Tatiana Lioznova, Nikita Mikhalkov, David Lynch, etc. inspired me a lot in my career. It the Russian famous one and one of the oldest film universities! Also I started to write scripts. My script “Harrasing” which I wrote together with my husband Valeriy received the awards as the “Best comedy script” of one of the biggest scriptwriters contests- about this win wrote “The Hollywood Reporter”, “Screen” and “Variety”. Right now I am mother of 3 kids, also I made few new films “Moscow Shadows”, “The Mission”, “Fashion House”, “CENTR”, “Inside the Whale” and one a very special film about the Siberian scientists and researchers…
–The history of Russian cinema and literature is among the most prestigious in the world; how much have they influenced your training?
I think that Sergey Eisenstein, Nikita Mikhalkhov, Andrey Tarkovskij – are the best examples of talented filmmakers. I am very proud to be from one country as they are and to make films also.
-Wild Filmmaker is the largest community in the world for directors, screenwriters, and independent producers, where all artists are welcome. Do you think that through art, it is possible to build peace among nations?
I think that art is one of the greatest forms of power in the world. Art is a kind of therapy.
-What do you think of Wild Filmmaker?
The Wild Filmmaker is the great platform for independent filmmakers from all over the World to boost their careers!

L’Amour est temps de reflets, 5 min 20 s, Yann Richebourg – Love is time of reflections Logline / synopsis : A poem-movie, « peau-aime-ou-vit » in French, suggesting an impossible relationship between a young girl and a young man through the reflective capacity of the mirror, which, implicitly as well as explicitly, conveys what is repeated in a love doomed to an impasse. Playing with the sounds of the words starts from the title because “temps” (time) is a homophone with “tant” (so many, so much). This film shows and makes heard what is ordinarily silent or mute and brings what is usually invisible to life. It is visually a very photographic form, with symbolic gestures, voice over without dialogue, on an original poetic text. The making of this film was all the more exciting because I didn’t have time to record my voiceover before filming, so I did an edit afterwards, on the soundtrack, and it worked. I was attached to the feelings and my actors understood the metaphors : the images were already present in my head when I recorded my voice, then I directed the filming on the timing of this counter-story, and the editing revealed what I had anticipated. This movie attests to the plasticity of this art : a visual and symbolic watchmaking is based on the importance of written and spoken text. One of the aims of this project is to transmit intensity with few means. Barbra Streisand has recently released “Love will survive” for the series “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” ; in 2009 she sang in her album cleverly named “Love Is the Answer” : I do agree with the fact that love is a classic, the only truth that can repair people, and moreover the best weapon against wars (in a dream). We need emotion. As for some influences, I was moved at a young age by “Dead Poet’s Society”, the close-ups and meaning of “La Haine” and the literary obsessions of “Total Eclipse”. Also the aesthetic precision of “Gattaca” and above all of “2001: A Space Odyssey”, as well as the osmosis of words, voice, songs and staging of “Yentl”.
