Lev figured out that he wanted to work in the video industry all the way back in primary school. He started by joining a film club where he learned the basics and continued creating and experimenting throughout his teenage years until getting into the Baltic Film, Media and Arts school for a bachelor’s degree. At the end of the first course, he got an opportunity to join Vita Pictura for an internship. He stayed as a part of the team, working in various roles in production, post-production, and broadcast, focusing on camera department work and editing, advancing and learning the craft every day.
