Hello!
We are Mike Bukhovtsev and Paul Zhuravlev, the founders of the Cinemood project.

In 2014, we started with a dream: to create a new device for families with children — a personal cinema in the palm of your hand, one that would unite families around watching stories and cartoons, replace heavy "adult" devices, and make digital leisure safe and magical.

Over the course of 8 years, we’ve gone from initial sketches to an international brand, sold over 80,000 devices in 127 countries, raised $10 million in investments, and built an amazing community of family users.

We are proud that the Cinemood project has helped make childhood brighter for thousands of children worldwide.

Currently, the project is going through a difficult bankruptcy phase, but our experience, knowledge, and energy remain with us.
We believe that every story deserves to be told — especially one filled with light, dreams, and love.

This blog is not just a tribute to Cinemood,
but a place where new ideas, teams, and meanings are born.

Thank you for being with us!


Feel free to message us directly here or on via contacts below, and let's explore the synergies we can create together!
