Savva Svet

As a child Savva Sveshnikov often accompanied his father to various film and stage sets and spent hours watching his father direct his actors and those around him. It was then, when the film bug first bit him. Understanding the commitment and hard work needed to succeed in such a field, he jumped at every opportunity given to him, even pursuing an acting career before switching to directing. During this time, he entered Stony Brook University to become a dentist, and decided to follow in his mother's footsteps rather than his father's. After taking a film studies class at the university he realized that his real passion was in filmmaking; the bug had bitten again. And so he transferred out of Stony Brook, left the dental career, and came to Brooklyn College to major in Filmmaking. After 2 years in Brooklyn College, Savva shot his thesis film, Confession. A short film, set during the second world war about a German soldier who saves a Jew from being executed and tries to lead him to allied territory. The film won the "Best Producing" award as well as the prestigious "National Board of Review" award and has been regarded as "a massive World War II moral fable". Since his graduation, Savva has been busy working on various film sets and pushing his talents towards the film world.
