In the presence of these components, a favorable combination of circumstances does not hurt. Igor Eduardovich Shavlak began his creative career as an actor. He did well. Igor's films aroused the interest of viewers and critics. After a short period of time, the young man was attracted by the director's activity.

Mother taught literature at school. The child grew up curious and agile. In high school, he regularly attended a drama studio in the factory palace of culture. It is not surprising that having received a certificate of maturity, Igor went to Moscow. After some hesitation, he decided to get a specialized education at the Boris Shchukin Theater School.

Creative activity
In 1983, Shavlak received a diploma and entered the service at the Vakhtangov Academic Theater.

Three years later, Igor left his job and organized, together with a fellow student, the Sokolniki theater studio. A place for classes was found in the Rusakov House of Culture. Almost two years passed trying to create a dramatic masterpiece, but the project had to be closed. The actor in the cinema was much more successful.
The film "It all starts with love", released in 1984, is considered a film debut for Igor. Already in the next season he was invited to a project called "Train Out of Schedule". Having performed one of the main roles, Shavlak declared himself as a versatile actor. This fact is indirectly confirmed by an invitation to the adventure film "Black Arrow". After this project, Igor began to think about a director's career. The first film that he directed as a director was called "The Ghoul Family."
Personal life scenario
A director needs money to make author's films. Shavlak found the necessary sources of funding. The first project "Gold of Yugra" cost a considerable sum. The film was a box office success and paid for the costs. The next picture "Lineman" was a failure. The director had to leave Russia for a while.
