Introduce Yourself : Hello again, Stage 32! by Aleksandr Rozhnov

Aleksandr Rozhnov

Hello again, Stage 32!

I’m not new here, but I’d like to introduce myself once more. I’m a screenwriter from Ukraine who has probably loved cinema since childhood. I believe that even the simplest story—like a person going to the store for bread—can be told in a way that’s interesting to watch.

I enjoy taking serious topics that concern many people and showing them on screen through unconventional situations, which makes my scripts quite striking. When I write, I visualize every scene in my mind. Honestly, in my scripts you won’t find vague notes like “the camera shows this”—I imagine every movement, every frame, exactly how it will look on screen.

You know, I probably love comedy the most. But like any person, I can be angry or cheerful — sometimes I even feel like I could kill someone. That’s why I can write thrillers (which I already have), a sports drama (which I’m finishing), horror (which I’m planning), and even kids’ cartoons.

I would love to connect with creative people, fellow screenwriters, agents, and producers whom I could be useful to. I really want to be part of the industry and be a helpful, contributing person.

Also — I have a cat named Putsik, whom I love very much, and I hope to write a script about him one day.

If my style or projects resonate with you, please reach out. I’d be glad to collaborate or just chat about ideas.

Hi, Aleksandr Rozhnov. You're right. Even the simplest story can be told in a way that’s interesting to watch. What's one of your favorite Comedy movies?

Aleksandr Rozhnov

When it comes to comedy films, I really enjoy movies starring Jim Carrey, like The Mask and Bruce Almighty. I also liked Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin.

I also really enjoyed the movie Jackpot, about a girl whom everyone wanted to kill because of a jackpot. It’s a funny comedy, really entertaining.

I loved watching The Mask growing up, Aleksandr Rozhnov! It's hilarious and so unusual! I'd love to write that kind of script! Is Jackpot a new movie?
