Kovalska People
Directed by Olga Mykhalets
Director, Creative Producer, Line Producer
For the 65th anniversary of the Kovalska industrial and construction group, a series of short documentaries about the company's workers, told in their own words. Even the largest construction holding exists, above all, thanks to its people: workers' manifestos carry that idea, and footage shot on real production sites builds the atmosphere.

Chief Creative Officer / Creative Producer & Director
Oct 2017 — presentCreative Producer since 2017, Chief Creative Officer since 2025. I work across the whole life of a project: I shape the idea, produce it and direct it on set.
Chief Creative Officer
I set the creative direction and always look for depth, because every concept should carry real meaning. I lead concept development and storytelling across the agency's work, and I hold the line on craft: it always comes first.
Creative Producer
I lead projects from the first spark of an idea to the final cut. I build the team, from director and DOP to cast, plan shooting schedules, and manage budgets, resources and marketing, overseeing every detail from pre- to post-production. When things go sideways, I find solutions fast.
Director
I bring writers, crew and talent together on set. I scout and cast talent, negotiate contracts, and source props, music and studio equipment. I have directed campaigns, documentaries and series for UNICEF, Superhumans Center, Darnytsia, Uklon, Kovalska and others.
