Mikhail Weinberg: biography of a star

Around the same time, the young man became seriously interested in theater life. A new hobby prompted him to graduate from the directing department of GITIS. A few years later, Mikhail also took a course in cinema at the All-Russian Academy of Arts. In 2005, he presented his thesis to the audience court, which became the short film “Theft”.
Debut
It follows from the biography of Mikhail Weinberg that the mini-series “The Reserve of Fear” was his first major achievement. He presented this adventure thriller to the public in 2008.

"I am looking for you"
It can not be said that the series “Reserve of Fear” was a great success with the audience, but the beginning was laid. Next, Mikhail Weinberg shot the film "I am looking for you." A melodrama with elements of a detective story tells the story of a young girl named Berta.
