My name is Alex. I grew up in Tallinn, Estonia. At the age of 17, I made my first documentary “Solntsevo”, where the story revolves around two kids in small Russian village Solntsevo. The documentary won a Gold medal on International Festival UNICA (2017), but at that time I didn’t know that my hobby turns into a vocation I love.
When I was 18, I moved to England to study Film Production at the University of Gloucestershire. There I’ve discovered my passion for editing and directing commercials, but still loving documentaries. On my second year of studying, I have directed and edited my first commercial “Nike M2K Tekno” and won “Craft Award, Editing” at the Royal Television Society Student Awards 2020. A year later I've directed another commercial "Be a Better You" which won the 2nd place at Kodak Student Commercial Awards 2020.
Now I am a freelance editor based in London, and I have a great sense of timing. Hence I can’t afford to spend your time for the third paragraph. Contact me on Instagram (borissova_film) or via email borissova98@gmail.com, and we could get to know each other better!

- Derealisation: Virtual TherapyMy final BA work, 'Derealisation: Virtual Therapy' is a mixed-media creation centred around derealisation. The motivation behind my graduation project is to put rather challenging experiences into the context of artistic discourse, as I believe it helps to observe them from a safe distance and remove the stigma surrounding mental health conversations. While exploring the phenomenon from an individual angle, I am also aiming to stress out the pandemic and psychological state dynamics. cinematogr
