Dzhura

A director

Who is Natalie Dzhura?

This is my story of finding myself and my purpose in art. Direction is the science that I’ll study all my life. My goal is to open stories, give the world my view on things and help others find their voice and senses

I spent four years studying theatre direction under the supervision of Bychenko N. However, after a while life has led me to Ukrainian Film School, where I changed my development vector and started to shoot under the supervision of Tkachenko T.

Now, I am working on short and long films that will see the world in a while. Films are the most precious things that I went into the profession for - and continue to go. Nevertheless, the biggest insight for me was the work on the social and educational projects

I am a teacher of directing and camerawork. I had never thought of teaching until I opened for myself my ability to become not only a teacher, but also a friend that will be able to explain the material in the appropriate way. My method of work lies in the idea that the theory should become practice as soon as possible, either for adults or for youngsters

A photo from the shooting for Happy Paw charity in the project «Find yours in a shelter». It’s a big advertising campaign that went through all Ukraine. I like joining such events, as I have got my own position and adore animals

My work with children is the whole other world. I am a teacher and work with children of different ages. I tend to explain their tasks and work in the cadre quite easily - we become friends in the twinkling of an eye. It's a very important part of work for me as for a professional

Shooting for the Happy Paw charity. Together with a team, we created amazing videos with animation that were shown in Ukrainian schools and taught children how to treat animals. Those videos are important for the upbringing of conscious generations in Ukraine
