About Daria
Daria Arzhevikina is a multifaceted film director and producer known for her diverse body of work spanning documentaries, short films, music videos, and social media campaigns. As the founder of Obsidian Flame Studios, a video production company, she has cultivated a reputation for innovative storytelling.
Notably, she wrote, directed and spearheaded the production of 'The She-E', a high fantasy short film pushing boundaries with its diverse visuals, non-linear structure, technically complex cinematography and the exploration of inner conflict within its characters.
Inspired by the Golden Age of Japanese cinema, she incorporates contrasting elements to captivate audiences- fire dances with water, silence punctuates chaos, and stillness intertwines with movement. Her fascination with the human psyche drives her to unravel intricate character dynamics. Daria's upcoming projects in high fantasy and period drama promise to delve deeper into themes of inner conflict, cycles of violence, and redemption, reflecting her enduring pursuit of the 'warrior mindset'.
Daria also directed the short film 'Coffee Table', which delves into the psyche of a mentally ill patient, challenging stereotypes with a nuanced exploration of fear and psychosis. With a feature film in post-production, Daria's creative vision extends to collaborations with celebrity figures like Tony Hadley and Clean Bandit for Young Voices UK. Beyond her film endeavors, she leads as a studio producer in live TV, overseeing a team in the production of 16 hours of live shows daily.
