It's better to have an impossible dream than no dream at all.

<p>I believe that some of the most important things in everyone's life are to do what you really love and feel thrilled and proud about your work.</p> <p>It took me 5 years of university and 8 years of quite successful career in marketing &amp; customer service to realize that. So in summer 2007 I quit the full-time job to follow my childhood dream of making movies and joined Video &amp; Film Production at Columbia Academy. From that day on I never regret my decision.</p> <p>Endless days, sleepless nights, burns &amp; bruises, frustration and delight, tears of joy &amp; tears of sorrow - I sincerely enjoy every moment on set and behind the camera.</p> <p>Thanks to my super-supportive family and to many talented and inspired artists that I met on the rocky road of filmmaking, I can call myself an indie filmmaker now. During the past few years I independently produced several short films and TV Drama Series <a title="Life with an accent" href="http://www.daretodreamfilms.net/life.html" target="_blank">"Life with an accent"</a> that premiered in Greater Vancouver on Shaw Multicultural Channel in October 2010 and on Shaw TV in January 2011. My very first short documentary <a title="RAK the world" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v84C2A6NhoI" target="_blank">"RAK the world"</a> made while in school with my classmates won the 3rd place at the first<a title="documentary contest" href="http://5mindocs.com/"><em> 5 Minutes To Change Your World</em></a> documentary contest in Vancouver, BC in March 2008. In December 2009 I was awarded with Columbia Academy Video &amp; Film Production's <em>Outstanding Single Project Producer of 2008/09 Award</em> for my graduation project short film <a title="Short film Demon" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gv5ombrvic" target="_blank">"Demon"<em>.</em></a></p> <p>I freelance a lot as a Camera Operator on various independent projects.</p> <p>At present I work as a Director and Camera Operator at the local community channel <a title="YANA TV" href="http://www.yanatv.com/index.html" target="_blank">YANA TV</a>.</p>
