Kinoconstanta was founded by Constantin Kikichev and Vyacheslav Mugurov in 2006. The company was acquired in 2007 by STS Media and was renamed into Costafilm due to the requirements of the deal. In 2011, Costafilm was merged with Soho Media to create the Story First Production studio, which was later closed in December 2013 by the STS Media holding.
