We had the good fortune of connecting with Igor Konyukhov and we’ve shared our conversation below.


Hi Igor, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?


Ikon Films began as a natural extension of my artistic curiosity—a way to channel my creative instincts into projects for others. I wanted to take the same care and attention I put into my personal work and apply it to helping clients bring their visions to life.

This business exists because I’m allergic to repetition. Commercial work, documentaries, experimental shorts—the throughline isn’t the format, it’s the insistence on treating each project like it’s the only one that matters.

Every project is different: one day it’s crafting a dynamic campaign for an athletic brand, the next it’s capturing the essence of an author’s story in an interview. What ties it all together is that each one challenges me to find the right visual language, the right approach—not just to deliver, but to create something meaningful.

Ikon Films isn’t a traditional production company—it’s a tool for turning creative obsessions into tangible things. Every project is a new puzzle. At the end of the day, the reward isn’t just in completing the job, but in knowing we’ve made something that resonates, both for the client and for me.



Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?


Can I do it all? Absolutely.And if I can’t today, I’ll learn it by tomorrow and execute anyway.

I don’t pretend to be an expert at everything—hell, I know nothing about soccer. But expertise has never been the point. Relentless adaptation is.

For years, my process looked deceptively simple from the outside:– Countless hours dissecting skills– Brutal self-criticism sharpening every detail– Obsessive improvement until mastery becomes boredom

That’s when I walk away. Comfort is creative death.

My edge? While others cling to what they know, I’ve built a career by diving into the unknown: from nuclear physicist in Moscow to ballet dancer in NYC , to Choreographer, to Opera director and as a result – a multifaceted artist with a massive set of skills running a creative business.



Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
