Yuri graduated with a Bachelor’s from Towson Univeristy in Electronic Media & Film, finally completing his undergraduate studies. Seeking further advancement in his editing career Yuri was accepted in the AFI’s prestigious Editing Program and earned his Masters in 2015.
Since graduating, Yuri has edited short form content, commercials, music videos, and gained an extensive roster of credits as an Assistant Editor for numerous streaming services, including AppleTV+, Netflix, Hulu & Amazon.
Yuri hopes to use his broad skillset (including over 10 years of graphic design experience, VFX Editing, sound design and music editing) to tell meaningful stories that nurtured his creativity since his orphanage days back in Moscow.
Storytelling is more powerful than a bullet. (Maybe not sharks with lasers, though!)

Icebox (2018)
A Timely and Human Case Study
Outside of the sensationalist headlines surrounding the issue of immigration in America, the film manages to not only take a nuanced look at the complexity and humanity of the search for a better life. Yes, this is a sensitive subject, but the film works very hard to give audiences a chance to see past the political talking points and address more intimate issues of survival, friendship, and family.
