Film and theatre · Actor's site
An elegant portfolio for Ukrainian theatre and film actor Dima Yaroshenko: showreel, 25 film credits with a page for each project, media, press and agency contacts, in English and Ukrainian.
Dima Yaroshenko is a Ukrainian theatre and film actor. We built his site as an elegant portfolio for casting directors, producers and the press: a portrait and the showreel on the first screens, 25 film credits with a page for every project, media, press, publications and the agency's contacts, in English and Ukrainian.
Real screenshots of the live site, desktop and phone. What each part does and why it is built this way.
The first screen is a black-and-white portrait, the name, "Film • Theatre • Television" and links to his Spotlight, Filmmakers and IMDb profiles. Right under it, before any list of roles, there is one quote: Roxy Toporowych, director of "Julia Blue", on making Dima audition three times. Then comes the "Actor's Showreel". A casting director gets a voice from the industry and the reel within two screens.
"Featured work" is a slider of film posters, and under each one sit the role and the year, from "Child" (Douanier, 2026) back to 2010. A poster is recognised faster than a title, and the arrows let a visitor scroll through the films without leaving the home page. "View All Credits" under the slider leads to the full filmography.
Three photos with the photographers credited, then a bio in three paragraphs: the Karpenko-Karyi University, more than a decade at the Dakh Contemporary Arts Centre, the lead role as Vasyl Stus in "Forbidden (Censored)". Below sit the facts casting asks for: skills, training, height, eyes, hair and languages. "What people say" quotes the press, and "For professional inquiries" leads to the agency.
The Credits page lists 25 titles: 11 feature films and 14 short films. Every card carries the poster, the year, the role and whether it is a lead or a supporting part, the director, the genre and the countries of production. A producer sees the range at once, from Ukrainian films to co-productions with Luxembourg, Belgium, France, the USA and Canada.
Every title opens its own page. "Dissident" shows the poster, "Taras • Lead • 2024", a "Teaser" button, a one-line overview, a link to IMDb and a table of project details: category, type, role, director, year, genre and country. "More films" below keeps the visitor inside the filmography instead of sending them back to the list.
Media is split into "Videos", "Photos" and "Audiobooks", because he also narrates books. Videos are grouped into playlists: feature films, short films, trailers, music videos and stage performances, including work with the Dakh theatre, each with a "Full playlist" link. Films, trailers, songs and theatre fragments sit in one place, sorted the way a casting director would look for them.
Press is grouped by year, from 2026 back: each card names the outlet, the date, the type (news, review, interview, article) and the language of the piece, from Cineuropa and The Guardian to Ukrainian outlets. A separate Publications page holds his academic article. The whole site switches between English and Ukrainian in the header, "ENG | УКР".
