New York Film Academy graduate Svetlana Samarina

The exciting and globe trotting life of producer Svetlana Samarina

Holding Degrees from The New York Film Academy in Los Angeles, California, The College of Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and Russian State Liberal University, Svetlana Samarina is one of The United States’ most promising new producers despite being born in Russia. In addition to working on the Winter Olympics in Sochi for NBC Olympics as Supervisor of interview and report shooting and organization in 2014, Svetlana has also worked on a cornucopia of projects, including the largest historical feature produced to date: “Horde” as Production Manager with Director Andrey Proshkin. The project lasted three years and won The Russian National Awards: The Golden Eagle and The Nika in addition to Best Director and Best Actresses from The Moscow International Film Festival. Her other works include numerous music videos and short film in 2013, “The Darkest Hour” in 2010, and “Pop” and “The Planet of Orthodoxy” in 2009. 

The last in this list was shot in twenty four of the Eurasian continent’s countries. She is currently living and working in Los Angeles, California on independent features and would like to branch out into Horror and Sociological Thrillers as their budget has the highest yield for box-office turnout. As 2015 presses on, keep a watchful eye out for works produced by Svetlana Samarina: they are sure to be as astounding and entertaining as the work she has been producing over the last six years, and don’t be surprised if her name comes up or is attached to a project nominate for awards in The United States when the time is right.
