Here, he talks about his working method, the use of the road movie structure and humour to communicate through his films, and more. Based on one of the elements of My Thoughts Are Silent, we also ask him whether he believes that it is difficult to be an artist nowadays.
My Thoughts Are Silent: Twenty-five-year-old Vadym works as a sound recordist.
