Watch The Stream!
The Stream was born from a deep curiosity
about the relationship between my immigrant
Russian father and myself.
Throughout most of my childhood,
my family owned a lake house.
Owning this house was one of the prouder
moments of our family’s life.
But a few years ago we fell into a deep financial crisis
and had no choice but to part ways with it.
After passing this house again for the first time
in a few years, the feelings and memories of
selling it came flooding back
An obsession with success.
Generational divide.
Growing up.
Exploring loss and grief and joy on the road.
And of course, the American dream and its failures.
This is the story that I've hoped to tell in The Stream.
