how it all started

In 2011  Vladas Litvinas graduated from BA Film & Television course at the University of Arts London. During the graduation ceremony held at BAFTA he’s been awarded at the best graduating film (Friedrich, cinematographer, dir. Kitty McMahon) as well as the best sound design categories (Ant, dir. Iris Cai).

In 2009 Vladas completed a method acting workshop with the legendary Jack Garfein, an Auschwitz survivor and at 23, the youngest director at the time to produce a play at Broadway. Jack is notable for discovering such actors as James Dean and Steve McQueen.

In 2011 - 2012 Vladas worked at the now extinct art-house film rental shop in Maida Vale, London. Amongst the visitors, he had a chance to share his suggestions with Kate Moss and her then boyfriend James Hince from The Kills.

Since 2012 Vladas has been living in Lithuania, helping establish a profitable production company JSC Somefilms as well as successfully completing more than 300 commercial projects for cinema, broadcast and web, meanwhile developing skills in editing, production and post.

For five years since 2015 Vladas held a course in the Atomic Garden advertising school, teaching future creative agency creatives and managers. As an instructor he participated in a film making summer camp for children organised by V. V. Landsbergis.

In 2019 Vladas moved to live in a forest, where he’s been observing and documenting the natural world.

In 2023 Vladas started a film company Kino mylios with an aim to create and distribute films about the natural world, promote nature awareness, innovate in sustainable filmmaking techniques as well as educate the young generation. 

Filmmaker by profession and a painter by calling, Vladas is engaging in new creative endeavours.
