We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrei Pukhov and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrei, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’ve been passionate about video editing since I was a kid. At around 12 I started experimenting with early editing programs, and that passion has stayed with me ever since.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My work is about telling stories through video that feel both authentic and visually strong. What sets me apart is the balance I bring between technical craft and emotional impact. Right now I’m working on several short films, and my next goal is to direct a feature-length project. It hasn’t always been easy, but every challenge has pushed me to become more creative and persistent.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If a friend was visiting me, I’d take them to places that combine nature and inspiration. I love Elysian Park for its calm atmosphere where ideas always come to me, and Pyramid Lake is another favorite spot with incredible views. There are still so many places I haven’t explored yet, and sometimes the best trips are about going to another state, seeing the mountains, and meeting new people along the way.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A huge thank you goes to my mom for always supporting me and respecting my choices since I was a kid. Today, I feel lucky to be surrounded by people who share the same direction and inspire me to grow as a creator. And a big thank you to Aidar Mukhametzhanov – together we’ve built a strong, well-coordinated team.
