DIM filmhouse is proud to introduce the “Worked On In Ukraine” (WOIUA) movement to celebrate and acknowledge film + TV productions that have or are working with Ukrainian film talents. Development, Cast, Crew, VFX, Post Production, all aspects of production can be supported by a qualified Ukrainian professional.

We embrace Ukrainian productions and stories. We encourage international film + TV productions to show their support for Ukraine by working with Ukrainian professionals. We offer the WOIUA Stork as a symbol of celebration to those that have decided to stand with Ukraine during these trying times.

Eric Holland, DIM filmhouse: CEO + Founder

“I have been so inspired by Ukrainian stories, Andrii, Danylo and Oleh, a Kyiv foley team, working in a 9 degree studio by candlelight and DIM’s own Yullia, working on a film pitch while sheltering in a Kyiv metro station (with her six year old son)!”
“The WOIUA seal of the stork is for them and the countless others who just want to use their talent to tell stories.”
“We want to spread the message that every filmmaker worldwide can support the Ukrainian film industry and independence by choosing Ukrainian talents. Get the stork logo on your next production!”

IS CREATED BY

“I am very pleased that you want to support Ukrainian cinema. This is very important for us, because now I personally faced the fact that I turned to many International producers with proposals for partnership and received an answer - ‘that they are already making a film about Ukraine but without Ukrainians’. Therefore, your idea and strategy are excellent for us!”

Polina Herman | UP-UA | Producer | Ukraine

"The war in Ukraine is a fight for the freedom of all of Europe. That's why I believe that everything should be done to help...."
"Our production participates in the Worked On In Ukraine program. We support Ukrainian talents and their film industry during the war. "

Andrzej Dolnjak | WAR 3.0 | Director / Writer | Poland

“Culture is the “second front” in Ukraine's struggle for its independence. The enemy has been carrying out cultural intervention for decades, using it as a form of mental occupation.”

“It is important for us to regain not only all our lands, but also our cultural heritage. Our absolute victory will be when the world community acknowledges our genius writers, artists, and all those who were appropriated by the aggressor, as Ukrainians.”

“WOIUA is a really important initiative for Ukrainian professionals, making it possible to feel that we are part of a strong international community.”

Maria Keil | Producer | Malevych

Together with filmmakers from Ukraine, it is important to make the world aware of what this war is doing. Any war. We need to actively oppose it. Making films is one way to do that. With stories that touch and stir. I am very happy that we have found a home for this project at DIM filmhouse and Worked On In Ukraine.

Tom Schildberg | Joyride | Writer / Director | Germany

“The world has now been watching the events in Ukraine for a year. It would seem that there is nothing new to learn about this war? But living inside the events gives a completely different experience. Daily danger, daily rage, daily human losses, daily hope... And collectively all the people around you who feel exactly the same every day.”

“Thank you for the ""Worked On In Ukraine"" initiative! It is extremely important to see the war, our world through our Ukrainian eyes, to give a voice to people who transform their own experiences into creativity.
We have something to tell the world!”
