About
Olga Melnikova - is creative producer, filmmaker, author, culture developer, music composer and life explorer, founder@CREA

My mission as a film professional and creative producer is to translate ideas and meaning into a vivid and visual language.

Recently implemented film projects of the last three years brought me to observe diversity of our world and visit such regions as USA, Central China, North India, Tatarstan and Middle East. One of the latest regions which inspired me deeply was Lebanon, Beirut.

The times we live now force us to make strong and certain decisions towards creative integrity collaboration with passion driven professionals, responsible and conscious attitude in their niche. It's time to come together, find new visions together, be support to each other and create extraordinary projects which can be a powerful voice of our time we live in.
