Bohdana Smyrnova

Known for Writing

Bohdana Smyrnova is a film writer/director of intimate female driven dramas. With a captive eye for mixed messages, Smyrnova has worked out a meticulous improvisational script development technique that provides actors space to explore and actively engage, which later translates beautifully on-screen in authentic and idiosyncratic portraits. She holds an MFA in film production from NYU (USA) where she was Dean’s Fellow, and a BA from Karpenko-Karyi institute of Theatrical Arts in Ukraine. She is an alumna of presigious Cannes Film Festival Residence and Script East screenwriting lab. Her short films were screened at over 350 events around the world, including Rotterdam IFF, Clermont-Ferrand, Slamdance, Taipei Golden Horse, and French theatrical release. Bohdana’s films/projects won over 20 awards. She has taught film in Syracuse and Wesleyan universities. She is currently preparing her debut feature film. Smyrnova splits her time between the USA and Ukraine.Read more
