Film & video

The Middle Man (2014)

The Middle Man — title still

Short film shot entirely in Cyprus by a group of enthusiasts, filmed over 2013–2014. I played Boris — a post-Soviet bandit sent to Cyprus to "solve the problems" of a post-Soviet oligarch in the days following the so-called "haircut" of the Cypriot banks.

Molotkov / Молотков (2017)

Molotkov — title still

Short thriller / art-house, Cyprus. Winner — Best Short Thriller, 2017 at the VII Russian International Film Festival of Suspense and Horror Cinema "Kaplya."

Lost Time — Instagram reel (2024)

Lost Time — clutching the briefcase Lost Time — the open pocket watch Lost Time — kneeling on the boards

A short story about a person trying to catch his time and constantly missing it — and when he finally believes he's caught it, it turns out to be gone again.

Human — music video (2025)

Human — music video still

Piano cover of Human by Rag'n'Bone Man, performed by Elle Rayman. I played the antagonist — an envious man who tears down the protagonist's creative work, secretly wishing he could create like her but lacking the ability and skill, so the only way he can express himself is to follow her steps and destroy whatever she creates.

Серьёзный разговор — music video (2026)

Серьёзный разговор — music video still

Music video for Серьёзный разговор by Анна Таран. I played Anya's "ex" across three personas — a hapless businessman, a gopnik behind the wheel, and a heavy-metal rocker — each confronted in turn before they all converge in a psychiatrist's waiting room.
