Original story worlds and film projects
This page brings together my original narrative projects developed for film and screen-based work.
Each project begins as an independent story world and is shaped into a finished visual work or a clearly defined development stage.
Some projects are completed; others are currently in development and open to further expansion.​​​​
​​​​Petrushka Dreams
short film, 2025​​
Petrushka Dreams is an original short film inspired by folklore, childhood memory, and immortal Stravinsky's music, and created with AI-generated visuals. The project explores a dreamlike space where celebration, unease, and imagination overlap, relying on atmosphere, music and visual rhythm, as well as a conventional linear plot.
​
Synopsis
Will Pet’ka climb high enough to win Masha’s heart – or will his pride remain buried in the snow? Petrushka Dreams is a romance set in the heart of a Maslenitsa end of winter festival where tradition, courage, and young love collide beneath the falling snow.
​
Status
Completed short film.
Recognition
A dedicated behind-the-scenes documentary was recognised internationally and selected as a Top-11 finalist of Chroma Awards – a major AI filmmaking competition.
