My\nname is Arielle Assenova and I am a filmmaker. There is not much about me, I am\na person who likes to follow the heart. And my heart is in art and filmmaking.\nMeanwhile I draw and appreciate classical and modern art. I went to Kazakh\nNational Academy of Arts and New York fFilm Academy to study Filmmaking and\nthen also studied the basics of business in Florida International University.\nRight now I have BBA in Finance and BFA in Film Producing and Directing. I have\ntried myself as a producer and director and now trying to add the screenwriting\nto my portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Did you have any\nspecific influences growing up that lead you towards the film industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nvery big influence I have experienced growing up was my Dad. My dad is a movie\nproducer and actor. He is quite passionate about the film industry. He always\ntold me: \u201cIm a happy person because I do what I like and Im getting paid for\nthat\u201d. I basically grew up on a film\nset. As a child I saw the film production as a Wonderland and honestly it is\nstill the same for me. I am happy to be where I am right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What are you currently\nworking on? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rignt\nnow I am working on new script for a short film. Due to quarantine it is\nimpossible to shoot movie and TV projects, but it is a great time slot for\ncreating new ideas and writing fascinating pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What were your main\nresponsibilities on this film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My\nmain responsibility was to take on the organizational part of the film, to free\nour talented director\u2019s head off the distractions and let her create. So, it\nwas a challenging job for me, and I am extremely thankful for Victoria to let\nme carry the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam: Can you tell us about your\nexperience in working with the director and actors in this film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, I think it is not much to say, we\nwere like an orchestra playing one smooth melody together under the spectacular\nlead of our Director \u2013 Victoria Yacubov. She somehow gathered arounf people who\nthink the same and see the same picture, so if I were to say how was it to work\nwith them? I could only say one thing \u2013 It was an experience of a lifetime.\nPractically Amazing. I am not saying everything was smooth, but we were a great\nteam and we managed to go through all the issues together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What was the most important thing for this movie to\nachieve from a narrative and character standpoint?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important thing was to let the characters be\nreal, the problems be real. Not the exaggerated problems we see mostly in\nfilms. But the real drama, the one we all experience but not ready to talk\nabout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What other films have you produced? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I worked on the production of many Kazakh films and some\nco-production films. Among them \u00abKazakh Khanate\u00bb, \u00abAmanat\u00bb (Selection from\nKazakhstan for Golden Globes and Academy Awards in 2016), \u00abCloud\non the roof\u00bb, \u00abYour Fall\u00bb, \u00abChoice\u00bb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What makes a film interesting for you? What are three qualities that\nyou look for in a movie? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a filmmaker I see each film as a piece for exploration. If I don\u2019t like any specific part, lets say the story, I would follow the acting or lighting or even editing. Each film is interesting. But for me a good film should be having three main things : the story, relatability and passion. And here the passion takes two sides, the passion of a characters and a passion of the film crew. U could always see if both things are there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What project helped you launch your career? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember when I was 17, I went to work as an First\nAssistant Director on a TV series. That was my first film job. I was extremely\nnervous, and tries to be the best I could. I slept 4 hours a day. That was\nfascinating and it was such an experience for me. The project was called \u00abSun Secrets\u00bb and they were not\nthat popular. But I still remember that experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What criteria do you use to select a script, screenwriter, director,\netc.?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many things I seek in selecting those things. It\nis harder with scripts, but overall I think I always listen to my inner voice.\nIt either says lets dive and do that script a movie with people or I skip. And\nmost of the time it becomes marvelous like with the Olma Djon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam: What are you most proud of? Describe\nyour biggest accomplishment to date?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My biggest accomplishment to date would be the ability to\nstay truthful to myself and to people I contact with. That quality lets me meet\ngreat people and do stuff that inspires me. I am very proud of a lot of stuff\nin my life, that movie Olma Djon is one them. I am also proud that I worked\nwith so many talented people. I don\u2019t\nknow what to add. I guess I don\u2019t think I did all I wanted, there still tons of\nideas in my head that I want to become real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Do you have any upcoming projects that you\u2019re super excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, in fact, we are working on a new project with\nVictoria Yacubov. We were planning to shoot the short film this spring.\nHowever, we are using the quarantine to prepare so we caould start as soon as\npossible. I am very excited to work again with Victroria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> What advice would you\ngive to someone who is aspiring to enter the film industry, especially as a\nproducer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, I think it is easy, just be the best you can\neveryday and be passionate about what you are doing. Film industry is a\nwonderland and it is our job to show the viewers stories of our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY\nGlam:<\/strong> Can you discuss any future projects or direction you are taking in\nregard to film making?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, I am very interested in producing movies about\nordinary people. I want to do the movies that can open somebodies minds into a\nwhole new field of thinking. That is why I am exploring screenwriting right\nnow. I have ideas, how I want them to be on screen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exclusive interview with Arielle Assenova – Film Producer NY Glam: Tell us a little about yourself, growing up and your passions.
