ANDRII LYTVYNENKO
I shot my first documentary when I lived in Kherson. I liked it very much – so much, actually, that I decided to go deeper in the field. Then I studied at university. I completed a number of documentary, TV and feature projects. I also studied in the documentary working team at A. Vaida School in Poland. I now plan to make a movie that will make everyone's hair curl!
