About Valeria Usynina — director of short films

I make short films.

Each one begins as an idea rather than an image — a world with its own weather, its own logic, its own sound. Image, motion and music are built together; the score is written for the film, not chosen for it.

Before this I spent sixteen years in interior design and 3D visualisation. That's where composition, light and material realism stopped being technique and became instinct.

I work with musicians and brands. Between those, on my own films.

The work is made with AI. That's a method, not a subject.
