Alexander Detkov

Unique traits: With 25 years of experience in the film industry, I come from a strong screenwriting background, having studied under some of the most prominent masters of Soviet-era cinema. While I'm now exploring directing, I continue to work actively as a screenwriter — it's my core craft. That's why I'm especially interested in collaborating with fellow writers and creators from around the world — people who are already building their path toward commercial success, step by step. I've walked many of those steps myself, and I'm excited to combine experience with fresh perspective in serious, ambitious projects.
