In the Land of the Free... (2010)
Born in Bristol, after graduating from Warwick University with a degree in history, Vadim started directing feature films at the age of 28 with 'Leon the Pig Farmer' and since then has directed and or produced 14 feature films as well as award winning television in every conceivable genre from documentary, comedy to drama for most of the major UK broadcasters. He has also directed more than 200 commercials, winning most of the major advertising awards. Almost more exciting than anything... he was a finalist in the 2011 University Challenge Christmas Special on BBC2 representing Warwick and successfully managed not to be told off by Jeremy Paxman on network television for getting an easy question wrong! He recently achieved a life time's ambition by being selected to play for England in the 2022 indoor hockey Masters World Cup.
