π·ππππππππ which I wrote, produced, directed and acted in, is released on a prestigious YouTube channel ππ¦ππ₯πππ¨. What a ride it has been! From writing a very personal story, to crowdfunding, to shooting it in Russia in my hometown, then the festivals in the US and worldwide, and finallyβ¦ being selected to @omeleto It feels good to being able to express myself in a way that Iβve dreamed of since I was 15. When everything felt heavy and there was no hope. When every day seemed like a battle. When my heart was broken. Art heals wounds as they say, and I echo that.

Thank you everyone who supported me in life, in creating this film, in post production and challenges Iβve encountered in releasing this film.
And I owe it to these people to get the recognition they deserve:
