(Picturing C.C. as Lukash)

I was honored to play Lukash in I Never Said Goodbye, a powerful and personal project written, directed, and filmed by award-winning filmmaker Yev K’Banchik. It is a partially autobiographical film starring Artur Smolyanov as Alex, an Eastern European man navigating new community in Baltimore as he processes the passing of his sick mother. The work handles themes of death and solidarity in the face of hardship.
