VERTEP — Documentary Film

Overview

VERTEP is a documentary film exploring the rich traditions of Hutsul Christmas — a unique cultural celebration rooted in the Carpathian highlands of Ukraine.

The project required immersive, on-location filming that captured the authentic spirit of the traditions while telling a compelling visual story for a national television audience.

• Built the visual language of the documentary from the ground up
• Edited the final cut for national television broadcast

The Result

VERTEP was broadcast on a national Ukrainian TV channel — bringing the story of Hutsul Christmas traditions to audiences across the country through authentic documentary storytelling.
