Andrey Bogatyrev

Born in the USSR on May 8, 1991, in Moscow, in the VDNKh district. From childhood, he demonstrated a passion for drawing and other creative pursuits. At the age of six, he appeared on the cover of an advertising catalog; six months later, he and a friend shot their first short film—with the friend's father serving as the cameraman. After graduating from school, Andrey acquired a video camera and began filming content for his YouTube channel—one of the first of its kind in Russia—starting in early 2007. He has produced films featuring music and film stars such as Sergey Troitsky and Sergey Pakhomov. He also directs music videos, including those for his friend, Alexander Pistoletov. He is the founder of his own film festival, *Dyrkrovshchina*, established in 2025. He has participated in numerous art exhibitions. He produces animation and writes screenplays.
