My name is Dmytro Trunov. I’m from Kyiv. From the age of 6 to 18, I played professional tennis. At 18, I decided to enroll in an acting university because I had always loved films and closely followed this art form. In principle, I appreciate other forms of art as well, but during my years in sports, I never gave it much thought.

So, I got in. Despite the quarantine, we would meet and rehearse anywhere we could—it was true creativity and a deep desire to bring that creativity to life. Of course, none of this would have been possible without our teachers. Over time, I had the chance to work with many masters, but I don’t think anyone invested in their students as much as they did. I am truly grateful to them for introducing us so deeply to acting and the creation of performance scenes.

However, due to the war and the circumstances surrounding it, I had to finish my studies there and, a year later, I enrolled at UFS (Ukrainian Film School). Despite everything, I met incredible people there and was exposed to various acting techniques. Most importantly, I gained extensive experience working in front of the camera, and I realized that acting in films and being part of the filmmaking process is what I truly want to do.

Now, I want to study abroad to organize and refine all the knowledge I’ve acquired. I want to have the opportunity to enter the world of cinema that is seen across the globe.
