Victor Shklyar: Editor/Designer

My name is Victor Shklyar. I put together this site with help from Christian. Christian and I met during our time at Brooks Institute. We have collaborated many times since then under Dionysus Productions. I am a video editor with a few notable projects under my belt. You can find more information about them on my webpage and imdb page. If you'd like to see what I'm currently doing, please visit the Victor Shklyar facebook fan page.
I was born on December 27th 1985, under the cold curtain of communist Russia. In 1994 my family was granted permission to leave St. Petersburg to escape religious persecution. I consider San Jose, California to be my home town and that is where I currently reside. I'm pursuing my video editing career here, creating videos and designing graphics for technology companies in the heart of the Silicon Valley. I'm always looking for new opportunities, so please don't hesitate to contact me with questions and inquiries.
