We have been involved in art and creative work all our lives. In 2015, we discovered our passion for animation, bought Dragonframe, and began making films together with children in studios and museums across St. Petersburg.
After moving to Bratislava in 2022, we came up with a new name for our studio — Eye to Eye Studio.
We create a space for free, fearless, collaborative creativity, where everyone becomes an author.
We regularly run studio workshops for all ages, organize creative day camps during school holidays, and make animated films in schools. We offer family workshops, animation art therapy and documentary animation sessions, drawing classes, and creative activities for our youngest participants aged 3 and up. We also host themed birthday parties and organize quests around the city and in museums. We take part in city events, creating masks together with participants and drawing inspiration from Bratislava’s history.
For us, animation is not just about learning how to make films — it is a way to support a child’s personal development.
While working on a film, children become artists, screenwriters, directors, actors, cinematographers, and sound designers all at once. They learn to develop stories individually and collaboratively, negotiate, make decisions, see projects through to completion, and not be afraid of making mistakes.
Most importantly, children experience what it means to be an author. They discover that their thoughts, stories, and unique perspectives on the world have value and can be meaningful and interesting to others.
