-Tell us about your journey as a filmmaker.

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.
