Ukrainian director and producer Vladimir Mula has received significant international recognition: he has become a member of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) — the organization that annually determines the laureates of the prestigious Emmy Awards. This was announced in a post on the director's Instagram page, as reported by RBC-Ukraine.
New status — new opportunities
Mula joined NATAS as a Charter National Member under the National Professional Membership program, created for professionals in the television industry. According to him, this step will provide access to an expanded network of contacts and new opportunities for international cooperation.
"It is a great honor for me to join the professional community of the world's best artists and continue to contribute to the field of sports and documentary films. In my world, filmmaking has always been about people, emotions, and stories that go far beyond the screen," the director wrote in his message.
Goal — to convey the truth about Ukraine
Vladimir Mula emphasized that new professional connections and the exchange of experience with colleagues from around the world will help realize new international projects and amplify Ukraine's voice on the global stage. Membership in NATAS provides access to participation in industry events, communication with leaders of the television industry, and work on documentary and feature films.
Experience working with global media
The director has extensive experience collaborating with leading global media outlets: BBC, CBS, CNA. He has covered major events — from "Eurovision" to the FIFA World Cups (2014, Euro 2016), the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, South Korea, and Paris 2024.
Documentary legacy and awards
Mula's portfolio includes such documentary films as "American Dream," "YUKI," "Nation of Football," and "Interception Game." In 2024, he received the Sports Emmy Award for the documentary miniseries "Football Must Continue," dedicated to the Donetsk club "Shakhtar."
Joining NATAS is not just a formality, but a strategic step that can become a catalyst for new projects uniting art, sports, and the truth about modern Ukraine.
