Same time Mariia registered her production company and started filming documentaries and commercials for big brands like Cosmopolitan, Vogue, BT, Dell, GoPuff, Porsche, Panasonic, Cognism and more.

Mariia received her first credit when Dreams Into Reality Production was appointed by Roar Film to shoot London scenes for the Documentary: "Conviction Politics ARC Linkage Project". This was an amazing experience and her first chance to work shoulder-to-shoulder with a film producer and creative Director Stephen Thomas. Straight after she was asked to film an interview with Richard E. Grant and his house for the documentary "A Look Through His Lens" about Oscar-winning cinematographer Philippe Rousselot directed by Matthew Berkowitz.
