About the Author

Yuri Tsapayev is a writer, composer, and filmmaker. He has work appearing or forthcoming in over a dozen venues, including Arguments and Facts (Novgorod edition), New Life, Artodox Publishing, Art Fog Media, and Paralux Productions. When he’s not amusing strangers with his writing, Yuri is most likely frightening friends with his new film ideas.
Yuri Tsapayev was born in Simferopol, Crimea Republic. He studied music at the Simferopol School of Music and graduated from the State University of St. Petersburg (Russia) with an MS in mathematics.
During Russia's famous Perestroika period, he established fine art galleries in Novgorod, Tver, and Moscow. In the late 1990s, Yuri published a newspaper Artodox Art Review, dedicated to arts and culture. With his friends in Tver, he founded a movie production company Beliy Svet, which is now a successful film studio.
Yuri moved to San Francisco in 2001 to pursue a career as an art dealer. He traveled extensively throughout the United States exhibiting his collection of contemporary Russian art. Despite his focus on art, Yuri did not forget his musical roots: during this same time, he composed and recorded three albums under the name Indie Knight.
In 2008, while attending the Hollywood Film Institute, he made an impressive transition to filmmaking with the sensitive and critically acclaimed short film Tick Knock, officially selected for the Barcelona and Chicago short film festivals in 2009.
Driven by a passion for filmmaking, Yuri quickly honed his skills and earned a reputation for his stylish visuals that complemented complex storylines. Early in 2009, he put it all on the line to make a feature film Contractor's Routine (Buffalo Niagara Film Festival official selection, 2010).
Yuri Tsapayev is currently working as a director and producer on his next dramas at Paralux Productions and as editor-in-chief at Art Fog Media.
