At the institute, Alan quickly finds friends and begins to earn his first money. He remembers handing out leaflets. But even from this profession, he managed to make the most of it – he acquired useful connections in advertising and PR agencies. At this time, the future director formed a circle of friends with whom he remains on good terms today.
Already in the first year, Alan understands that practice is much more important than theory, and already as a student, he begins to realize his plans.
“I really can’t do anything else in my life. I can create a visual part and this is something that has been given to me since childhood. I always did it, always told some stories, gathered people in my mini-theatres, put on crazy shows at school “
– Alan Badoev noted earlier.
The start of a successful career. Films and clips.

The novice director is not limited to a single genre and begins to try himself in the genre of feature short films. These works did not leave the professors of the university indifferent and were awarded at the Fast Fest Weekend student festival. In 2002, in the 4th year of the institute for the painting “Angels Live Opposite” he was awarded the Order of the Most Holy Theotokos of the Intercession. The director managed to depict acute social problems in Artistic language. In the film, the director depicts the story of two lovers in the revolutionary period, where one of them must die.

From that moment on, people begin to learn about a man in wide circles, he acquires useful contacts and continues to work. Success does not leave Badoev, and in 2006 his film “Orange Love” is shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
Although the film was shown out of competition, critics noted the talent of the young director. In the same year, he received the first serious award “Kinoshock – 2006”.

Collaboration with stars Alan Badoev – producer.
In addition to creative thinking and a huge talent for filming, Alan Badoev has the ability to see potential in emerging artists.
Two years later, he takes under his protectorate Misha Romanova, a girl who soon becomes a member of the VIA Gra group.
Alan decided to expand his boundaries and began to work as a producer! In many ways, it was thanks to Alan that we all learned about the wonderful singer Max Barsky. In 2009, he saw a future star in the Star Factory participant Barsky and undertook to produce it. It was Alan Badoev who saw great potential in him.
“We met 10 years ago at Star Factory 2. Was it fate? Do not know. Rather, the accident of two trains with completely different loads, a collision at maximum speed, the result of which was something third. This happens when two people change each other beyond recognition and determine the vector of life for many years to come. This is more than friendship – this is the friendship of creativity. I am glad to know Max Barsky and even more Nikolai Bortnik. These are completely different people, but both are beautiful, albeit wild.”
Today, Max Barskikh is a star who tours both in Ukraine and abroad and gathers huge halls of people everywhere. Barskikh and Badoev shoot masterpiece clips for incendiary songs, such as: “Make it louder”, “Shores”, and “My love”.
All this time, Badoev continues to shoot videos for the favorites of millions: Philip Kirkorov, Vera Brezhneva, Tina Karol, Valery Meladze and others.
By 2018, the clip maker goes global. He shoots a video for the song “Dooset Daram” for Arash and Helena.
Clips are different. There is just a story, and there is a linear story, there is just a visual move. But even if it’s super-abstract, you always have to understand exactly what story you’re telling. Most often, I live some kind of internal excitement, then I take it out and complement the sensations of the artist. This is how we double the message of the clip. It’s real chemistry.”
So the man talks about how he manages to create a special clip for each artist.
Television projects of Alan Badoev

In 2011, Alan Badoev, along with his wife, hosted the popular travel program Eagle and Tails. However, they filmed the first season, and Alan Badoev decided to leave the project. All due to the fact that he wanted to devote more time to directing.
Another bright show on Ukrainian television was “I want to VIA Gru”. In it, girls from the CIS countries fought for the right to become a member of a popular trio. The producer of the program was Alan Badoev.
Personal life of Alan Badoev
Personal life has always been interesting to the public because he is very bright and talented!
Until 2012, the director was married for 9 years to TV presenter Zhanna Badoeva, with whom he hosted the Eagle and Tails travel show. The Badoevs are raising two children, the boy Boris is Jeanne’s son from his first marriage.
In 2005, their daughter Lolita was born. By the way, Alan Badoev very often shares photos of his daughter on social networks.
But the children did not save this marriage, and in August 2012 the couple unexpectedly divorced.
The couple did not comment on the reason for the divorce, they only said that due to the busy schedule they found little time for each other.
Despite the divorce, Alan, and Zhanna maintain friendly relations and the whole family spends the holidays and the New Year together.
“We have remained great friends. This is important because it was with good friends that our relationship began. We, as before, together with bear a huge responsibility for our children. We always celebrate the New Year together, because it is a family holiday and a tradition.”
Alan Badoev spoke earlier about divorce and the behavior of children:
“Our children understood why we broke up, we had a very honest answer to this question: “Something is happening in the heart of mom and dad.” We wanted to remain friends, to love each other the same way, and not to swear at the same time. It was a genuine feeling.
In the 11th year of marriage, something began to change, quarrels began to be brought into the house. I think parents have no right to swear in front of their children, they should only see sincere love. The fact that Jeanne and I have become best friends is a treasure. We don’t have tension in our family. I come for the New Year, we hang out, we get high, we are one for one. Definitely a treasure.”
Also, very often on social networks, Alan devotes touching posts to Zhanna Badoeva:
“We went through all the possible stages of a relationship with you: friendship, love, a little hatred, and again, and already forever friendship!
Thank you for the wonderful children, for the fact that I can always dial and hear the words at any distance, which again and in any situation make me super strong.
You certainly know how to inspire!”
Alan often visits Italy, where Zhanna now lives with her children and her second husband, Vasily Melnichin. The director tries to devote maximum time to his daughter, whose birth he calls the most important event in his life.
There were rumors that Alan and Zhanna could not be together because of the unconventional orientation of the clip maker. In Ukrainian show business, they say that Alan is having an affair with Max Barsky
The creative tandem also fueled rumors with their photographs, in which they pose together from a vacation in Thailand in late 2012 – early 2013.
However, neither Alan Badoev nor Max have ever confirmed the rumors about their alleged romance. Moreover, now all the followers have switched to the topic of Barsky’s romance with Misha Romanova. Although the artists themselves say that there is only friendship between them.
In 2017, Alan Badoev sincerely confessed about his personal life. He indicated that he really liked being single:
“Today I want to replenish myself with the world of painting, music, literature, and for this it is very important to have a moment of solitude. That is why today I cherish this state very much. My house has become a cozy fortress for me, and so far I do not see a person who could share it with me. It’s a conscious state, so it’s not a constant.”
Badoev explained.
Then, in 2018, they began to say that Alan Badoev was dating an unknown brunette. The fact is that he put up a photo in which he kisses a girl. Everyone assumed that this was his beloved.
But again, no one has confirmed this information.
Alan Badoev is a very deep and sensual person:
“My father once said an amazing thought: “Don’t look at the person, but look at what kind of garden he has grown, and whether he has grown it at all. Perhaps in its place is a scorched field. Then I could not fully understand these words, but today I absolutely clearly understand them. We feel people as a wave. From a person there is always an aftertaste, like the aroma of his perfume. At the moment, I would really like for every person with whom I intersect in life to feel the right wave that would help him in some way.
