Here what are people saying about working with Iryna:

“Thanks to working with Iryna I understood how to develop my story and in what genre” scriptwriter Anastasiya Veremenko

“Thanks to working with Iryna I could see the script from a different point of view, to see weak and contradictory places. In addition, this kind of work helps a lot if you are at a dead end” script writer Eugeniya Salimon
“A thousand times and I am not getting tired of thanking Iryna for helping with my film. I always come to her with a lot of thoughts and ideas and leave with a clear concept and a clear vision on how to make it. Her help is priceless.
