Nikolay Litvinov, known in the backstage of Russian millennial TV and film industry as Lampa, when he is hungry, – grabs a camera and starts filming. The digestion process is carried out in a video editor. Really, he has a lot in common with the hero of the famous short film “The Boy With a Camera for a Face ” by Spencer Brown. The big difference, though, is that the latter shot with his head, and Lampa - with his heart.
Nikolay Litvinov was born in 1974 in USSR and from early childhood he was obsessed with music, cinema and motorcycles. He got his first motorbike at the age of 14, and started to play punk-rock on drums. When he was 17, he lived in a mortuary, working there as a corpsman. He started to work for television when he was 19, and soon after became the first steadicam cameraman in Russia. He worked for TV and cinema for 20 years, and started to make his own short films.

“Each department in a film production is one hair in an artist's brush. I wish I was a painter – for working I’d need only to buy canvas and paints.”
