The Unfinished Dream
(DocuShort)
Director, Editor, Sound Designer, & Narrative Strategist
Integration of legacy archival media with 4K interview footage; specialized "Glitch/Shutter" sound design; narrative construction of historical 'cold case' scandal.
Interview Direction
Managing a high-profile subject like Krassovsky to extract a vulnerable and historically significant narrative.
Complex Multi-Generational Archiving
Blending modern 4K interview footage with what I suspect is a deep well of archival photos, newspaper clippings, and perhaps even liturgical music recordings.
Thematic Tension
Using sound and "glitch" aesthetics to bridge the gap between the sacred (Krassovsky’s background) and the profane (the "Scandal" theme).
For the long form Documentary, managed on-location recording for a professional choir, prioritizing acoustic integrity and dynamic range. In post-production, this recording was treated as a primary narrative element, integrated with custom Foley to bridge the gap between archival history and modern sound design.
For the Unfinished Dream documentary, I managed the end-to-end capture of a professional Russian choir Slavyanka within a cathedral acoustic. This was not just a recording—it was a preservation of tradition. Utilizing a multi-microphone array, I captured the natural 4-second decay of the stone walls while maintaining the crisp linguistic nuances of the vocalists."
