Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?

My name is Serge. I’m studying to be a film director and work as a model. For now my job has stopped, but the studying process is happening online. I have a lot of homework to do, so my quarantine time is not so boring.

Who would you confine with?

My family and me, and also me …well… did I mention me? ;D

 What's your work-from-home style?

Basically my work-from-home style is only study, but today I got an unexpected and special shooting. A photographer was making pictures through Skype. I’m really wondering what the result will look like.

Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).

Right now my hobbies are photography, playing the piano, working out and running, drawing and reading, play billiard and of course study.  (Sometimes I drive my car very fast at night, but that’s a secret). 

My study program in university is film direction, so I’m trying to watch as many movies as I can about the film industry. I’m also interested in acting and I consider myself as a communicative, funny and interesting person, so I think I can become a good actor.

I played billiard professionally for more than 10 tears (exactly: snooker). My father is my coach; he is working and coaching the best snooker players in the whole world. 

I try to read as much as I can since reading develops our brain and soul. Each day I read something new about psychology and write in my notebook what is important to me.

I’ve always loved photography; my granddad used to be a professional photographer. When I go out taking new pictures I do it only on my film camera; I don’t know the model’s name exactly, but I know it’s pretty old and it’s a Nikkormat. It’s probably around 30 years old, but it still works perfectly.

I draw when I’ve got inspiration and time, but right now I spend more time on study and other hobbies.

I’ve always loved working out and running. Sometimes it’s hard, but I know what I want to achieve and I motivate myself.

I used to play piano when I was 10 years old, but after 2-3 years of studying I quit. Now if I want I learn how to play some music on the piano by myself.

Basically right now during quarantine I study and do my hobbies after, if I still have energy))).

What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?

The first place I would like to go on holidays to after quarantine is Mallorca. I’ve been there once during a modeling job and now I would like to stay there a bit longer, with some friends.

Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?

I really like actors and all art people. My favorite actors are Will Smith , Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves , Heath Ledger , Joaquin Phoenix , Anthony Hopkins , Rachel Weisz , Keira Knightley, … I could continue…
