DIRECTOR'S BIO:

Born in St. Petersburg in 2004, Elizabeth studied in the most ordinary secondary school among panel multi-storied houses. During her last year at school, she took preparatory courses at the St. Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television, and then got enrolled to the department of feature films directing.
She shot sketches, staged performances. “In my second year of the university, I shot my first mid-term work – the short film “Fools”. I'm still a student. There are many more new stories and projects ahead of me.”
