Behind the camera

Nata Greshnikova

Director and cinematographer. A British film school, an own production studio and stories built around real people.

NATA PANDA PRODUCTION is the studio of director and cinematographer Nata Greshnikova. Documentary and fiction, commercials, music videos and TV shows — from the first idea to the finished film.

BA + MA: Two British degrees
UK: Brighton & London, 2014–2019
10+: Projects: film, ads, TV
110K+: “Naiznanku” views

It all started in the United Kingdom. In Brighton — a BA in Cinematography at the University of Sussex and the first short films: the drama “I See”, the documentary “Jali”, the drama “Saboteur”. In London — an MA Director of Photography (DoP) at MetFilm School, awarded by the University of West London.

In 2018 NATA PANDA PRODUCTION was founded in London. Its first project was the pilot of the stand-up show “Evening of Comedy” — camera and creative production. Then came the documentary-style commercial Butcher’s House, a promo for the Inner Circle dating app, the short films “Black Star 2” and “Thank You”. At Russian Film Week 2019 in London — lead video producer of the festival, including the film about the Golden Unicorn Awards ceremony. The graduation film “Russian Lady in York” is a series of candid interviews with nine Russian women who built new lives in the UK.

Today it is Moscow and “Naiznanku” (Inside Out), a social talk show about bullying and teenagers: honest conversations between guests, a psychotherapist and teenagers themselves about what families keep silent about. The first two episodes passed 110,000 views on YouTube.

Off set — travel and video diaries: Italy, Sochi, Brighton, London. The favourite thing is turning ordinary moments into a little film.

Approach

01
People at the centre
Interviews, documentary, talk shows. What matters is the subject’s trust and an honest tone — no staged gloss.
02
British camera school
Light, composition and camera work to British film-school standards: studio, street, dolly, handheld documentary.
03
From idea to final cut
Directing, cinematography and producing in one studio — fewer middlemen, a clearer result.
