NY Glam:<\/strong><\/a>\nTell us a little about yourself, growing up and your passions. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First\nof all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of NY Glam. I\u2019ve\nbeen following your work for quite some time and I\u2019m excited to be here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nwas born in Uzbekistan and my parents and I moved to Germany when I was seven\nyears old. And that\u2019s where I basically grew up. I\u2019ve always been a pretty\nactive kid, waking up early, running around outside all day long and playing\nall kinds of sports. But the evening time was always special to me. Evening\ntime always meant movie nights. I remember exactly how I would always have an\neye on the time and soon as the sun would go down I would run back home and get\nready to watch movies with my parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve\nalways been passionate about sports and movies, like a lot, and I knew at an\nearly age already that one of the two options is going to be my career path\nwhen I grow up. But when I tried acting for the first time in high school I\nactually hated it because I was so scared of it. I literally dreaded the days I\nhad acting classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nsome point however something changed and I became completely obsessed with\ncharacters and plays and all the magic it comes with. I think it just took a\nwhile for me to feel comfortable letting go of myself when working on stage.\nBut I guess when that happened this whole journey really started for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nDid you have any specific influences growing up that lead you towards the\nfilm industry?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\ndidn\u2019t really have specific influences, like nobody from my family was an actor\nor so. But my parents love movies. And like I\u2019ve already mentioned above we\nwould always have those movie nights and we would talk about the story and the\nperformances after the movie ended. I think that was definitely something that\nlead to me being so fascinated by actors and filmmakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nremember falling in love with classic movies like On The Waterfront<\/em> or Cool\nHand Luke<\/em>, movies that no other kid from my school would ever be interested\nin watching, which was so weird to me. I wanted everyone to see these amazing\nfilms and relive what I felt when I saw them for the first time but nobody really\nwas into it. It still makes me mad, like c\u2019mon now who doesn\u2019t love Paul\nNewman, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nWhat are you currently working on? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right before the\npandemic started we were able to finish shooting a film called Eight Count<\/em>,\nwhich is now being screened at several film festivals around the world. So my\nteam and I are focused on that at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also currently\nfinishing up post production for another project that I shot during the\npandemic. This one is called Scoped <\/em>and it literally is the definition\nof a skeleton crew production.<\/em> We shot this project with a total of four\npeople in only three days, which was a very unique experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During quarantine I\nfelt the urge to be creative again, so I reached out to a couple of friends who\nfelt the same way and we decided to use this time at home to create something\nthat we could shoot right when we were allowed to be outside again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoped <\/em>is a five episode web series and it follows three secret service agents who find themselves being targeted by the company they work for after discovering the truth behind their mission. The first episode is currently in post-production and we aim to shoot the second one very soon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EIGHTCOUNT <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nWhat were your main responsibilities on those films?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides\nthe acting part I was responsible for several other departments on both\nprojects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nEight Count\u2019s <\/em>case I wrote a first draft and approached my friend Joe\nBasile with it. He liked the overall story, wrote a great script based on my\ninitial idea and directed the film. We both were also the producers of this\nproject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoped\n<\/em>was\nmy first time directing a film that I wrote myself and it was an incredible experience?\nEven though it was such a small production I was still able to feel the\nresponsibility directors have to deal with on set. I can\u2019t even imagine how\nmuch pressure it is directing a big scale project. But the thought of it\nexcites me and I hope someday I\u2019ll get the chance to experience that as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nCan you tell us more about your experience\nworking with your team on Scoped<\/em>?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was definitely a beautiful experience. Four friends getting together and being creative in a time when most of us were actually struggling with creativity. It felt like a wakeup call we all needed. It showed us that no matter what situation you find yourself in there is no reason to stop your creative process. All four of us held each other responsible to be the best version of ourselves and because we know each other very well communication was spot on. As a result, the work itself didn\u2019t really feel like work. It just felt like having a good time with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight Count (Christian Bulich & Roxanne Morrison)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: As a screenwriter, what\nis the most important aspect of building a character? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it\u2019s a combination of several things that make a character\ninteresting. First of all, you don\u2019t want to create a one dimensional\ncharacter. A villain for example shouldn\u2019t be pure evil just because he\u2019s\nsupposed to be the bad guy in your story. Create a villain that has a reason\nfor being evil. It should feel like this character actually thinks he\u2019s doing\nthe right thing even though he\u2019s doing something really bad. In addition to\nthat, make your characters relatable. In the example of the villain it might\nnot be easy to relate to his actions but create a backstory that helps the\naudience feel more connected to him. Maybe something tragic happened to this\ncharacter and that\u2019s why he is doing what he\u2019s doing. Based on that the\naudience might even feel sorry for the villain even though his actions should\nmake you hate him. If you\u2019re able to establish these contradicting emotions in\nyour audience that\u2019s how you know you have a unique and interesting character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: What are your ambitions for your writing career?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well my main focus is still on my acting career first. Writing is\nsomething I really enjoy doing and it compliments my acting career. I can\nbasically create my own projects that I want to act in.  But I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m pursuing an actual\ncareer in screenwriting at this point. I mean you never know how life will turn\nout and maybe I\u2019ll transition more into a screenwriter someday but at this\nmoment I\u2019m still fully focused on my main passion and that\u2019s acting. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nWhat makes a film interesting for you? What are three qualities\nthat you look for in a movie? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s an interesting question. I think the three main\ningredients I\u2019m looking for in a good movie is the story, the acting\nperformances and the overall execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of a movie is the first thing I look for. If the plot\nis not something I\u2019m interested in there\u2019s a high chance I will look for other\noptions to watch. Sometimes however I can enjoy a movie with a bad plot or a\nstory that doesn\u2019t really interest me if the acting performances are great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at the end of the day it\u2019s all about the overall execution\nof a project. You can have the greatest script on earth with the most\ninteresting story and the most incredible performances but the movie might\nstill suck. Why? Because even if you have all these amazing ingredients you\nneed to know how to balance them and let each aspect of the film shine in its\nown light. Sometimes directors or producers get in their own way by pushing for\nsomething that actually stands in the way of the project and ends up hurting\nit. So knowing how to combine story, performances, visuals etc. to achieve a\nreally great film is a very difficult task and only the best filmmakers have\nthe skill to do so. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nDo you have any upcoming projects that you\u2019re super excited\nabout?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have just recently\nfinished a feature film script that I\u2019m really excited about. The\nstory is a rather unconventional romance inspired by movies like Blue\nValentine<\/em>, Revolutionary Road <\/em>and the Before <\/em>trilogy. I\nwanted to create a very unique way of exploring the different stages a long\nterm relationship goes through and I think my team and I were able to create\nsomething very intriguing.
\nWe\u2019re currently looking for investors and hope to start the pre-production\nprocess as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong>\nWhat advice would you give to someone who is aspiring to enter the film\nindustry, especially as an actor?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let anyone stop you. That\u2019s the most important thing to keep in mind. If you\u2019re really passionate about something then just go for it and don\u2019t let anyone talk you out of it. You have to develop a thick skin and let all the negativity just bounce off of it. No matter how many \u201cNo\u2019s\u201d you\u2019ll get during your audition process, no matter how many times you\u2019ll fail on set, learn from it but don\u2019t let it affect you in a negative way. Just keep moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
