Lana Parshina
- Producer
- Director
- Writer
With multiple academic degrees, Lana Parshina initially worked as a
Russian/English/German interpreter, a freelance journalist, and a
public relations consultant/crisis manager. But, filmmaking was her
passion and she left a vibrant career in crisis management to embrace
her dream. She turned to NYU Tisch School of Arts for advanced training
in the art of filmmaking. All of her previous professions have
contributed to her style of work as an independent filmmaker. First as
an interpreter who had projects with US Library of Congress and then
next adapting several screenplays from Russian into English, she
learned to embrace diversity and push the boundaries of her creative
skills. As a journalist, she acquired the natural curiosity to dig
underneath the surface. She values the importance of two-way
communication and taking decisive steps to prevent crisis with her role
as a public relations consultant/crisis manager dealing with distressed
companies.
