I’m Nadin Tsarinova, a Ukrainian creative professional based in Los Angeles. As a film director and artist, I craft compelling stories for cinema and music videos, focusing on impactful content that drives reflection and inspires change. My work explores themes of raising awareness, self-relationships, and critical thinking, aiming to make a meaningful difference through visual storytelling. In addition to filmmaking, I specialize in fashion and acting headshots, capturing individuals' best selves with a keen eye for detail and authenticity. I also draw all my film concepts by hand and often design sets myself, bringing a unique artistic touch to my projects. Explore my portfolio to see how I blend cinematic vision, hand-drawn artistry, and expert photography to create resonant images and stories.
Hi there!
My director’s showreel
It’s a mix of music videos and short films that explore everything we’re all too scared to say out loud—passion, messy emotions, and the bizarre things we all think but pretend we don’t. And, of course, I throw in some irony and humor because why take life seriously, right? I’m grateful for every project I’ve worked on, but let’s be real - it sucks that I only have a minute to show it all. There’s so much more, but hey, that’s what makes it fun, right?
These aren’t just projects; they’re stories that stick with you. Bold visuals, weird twists, and moments that’ll make you think -or at least give you a good laugh (or tears). Take a look, and let’s see if you can handle what I bring to the screen
Below, you can find my director’s projects in the 'Films' window

I believe in you(:
Not sure what you’re looking for yet? That’s totally okay! I’d love to chat, explore ideas, and figure it out together. Let’s create something wonderful and grow through the process. Your success is my success, and nothing makes me happier than bringing your dream to life!
