Founder · Creative Director

Ukraine

Founder of Kolo Kino. Writer, director and editor on every documentary. Everything you love about this channel comes from Ievgen: the storytelling, the craft, the rhythm and the look.

About Ievgen

Studied stage direction (left in his final year) and worked as a graphic designer and editor before starting Kolo Kino as a hobby in his Kiev kitchen in 2016. He still works from Ukraine, where he kept the channel running through the war with generators, batteries and laptops bought from channel revenue. The creative engine behind every Kolo Kino documentary: concept, narrative direction, editing and the visual signature that defines the channel.

Reach Beyond Subs

Most channels grow on the back of their subscribers. Kolo Kino has a different story: nine in ten viewers have never subscribed. YouTube's algorithm serves them our documentaries, and they stay.

For a sponsor, that means every campaign lands in front of a constantly refreshing audience, far beyond our 132K core. Each new video opens the doors of the cinema again.

Brand Partnerships

Sponsorship that fits the story

We integrate sponsors into the documentary's narrative, not against it. The result: long-form attention from a high-intent audience.
