Nazar Matvieichev — documentary filmmaker, DOP, editor. If I love your story, I'll make the film for free. No catch. The work has to mean something. To you, and to me.
I'd rather make one film I believe in for nothing than five I don't for money. So I keep five free seats open every year — for stories worth telling, told properly.
You bring the story. I bring camera, edit, color, sound, motion, VFX — everything end-to-end. We finish with a film you can show your family, your customers, your future. That's the deal.
A maker, a small business, a community, a parent doing something quietly extraordinary. Not a logo.
A craft, a fight, a turning point, a place that's disappearing. Stories with weight.
You let me in. Workshop, kitchen, garage, road trip — wherever the story actually lives.
I document what's already true. If you want a polished commercial, we can talk about a paid project.
I'm Nazar — born in Kyiv, now based in Kirkland, Washington. I've been making films since 2012, the last few years through HURAGAN Production, where I co-owned the studio and worked as DOP, editor, and VFX artist.
Documentary is what I keep coming back to. The people I've filmed — woodworkers, drivers, dancers, founders — all gave me something honest, and that's the kind of work I want to keep making. The free-projects policy isn't a gimmick; it's the only way I've found to keep the work pointed at the right things.
I shoot, edit, color, sound-design, animate, and finish in-house. One person, end-to-end. Which means we can move fast, change direction, and stay close to the story without a committee in the room.
A short note is enough. Who you are, what's happening, why now. I read everything. If it's a fit, we talk. If it isn't, I'll tell you — and sometimes point you to someone who could.
