Serhii Demydov

Serhii Demydov—yeah, the guy whose name pops up in some pretty hard-hitting films—has been making waves in the movie scene. You mighta caught his work in “Mr. Jones” (2019), which dives deep into the whole Soviet famine cover-up, and honestly? It’s not the kind of flick you watch with popcorn and smiles. It’s gritty, tense, and just punches you in the gut with how real it feels. Demydov’s got this knack for capturing the bleakness and the raw truth of history, not sugarcoating a thing. Then there’s “Bucha” (2023), a film that landed right in the middle of the world’s chaos. It’s tied directly to the horrors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the way Demydov brings the story to life? You can practically feel the fear, the confusion, the heartbreak—without ever feeling like it’s exploiting tragedy for cheap drama. The dude’s got respect for the subject matter, which is honestly rare these days. Now, “Puppies” (2025) is a bit of a curveball. Details are still kinda hush-hush, but from what’s trickled out, it’s not just a cutesy animal flick. There’s always layers with his projects, so don’t be shocked if it’s actually a metaphor for something way deeper. Demydov isn’t the type to do surface-level stories. Bottom line, if you see his name on a movie, expect something that’ll leave you thinking—or maybe even reeling—for days. He doesn’t mess around with fluff.
