In the late 90s, he decided to try his hand at filming some films, but these films did not bring him fame, and he returned to photography. At the same time, according to Mishukov himself, the subject of photography, be it a person, an object or nature, is of interest to him if it really manages to reveal his soul. Exhibitions of his photographs have repeatedly caused resonant opinions in society. For example, in 2011, one of the exhibitions featured photographs of people with Down syndrome, which caused a very mixed reaction in society.

At the time, Mishukov worked closely with the famous director Andrei Zvyagintsev - they worked together on television. At one time they organized master classes together. At one of them, Zvyagintsev was asked a question about why the director does not film Mishukov in his films, because the latter has an interesting face for an actor. And, although both of them joked about this then, after that Mishukov began to actively play roles in the theater and act in films. From the beginning of the 2010s to this day, he has played many roles, the most striking of which were roles in the films “Daughter”, “Tomorrow”, “Life Circumstances”, as well as in the TV series “Crime” and “Excellent Student”. He continues to actively act in films to this day.

Even then, I was madly in love with our baby, who was like a note sent to us by God.”
