ABOUT ME

About me

For the last fifteen years, I have been working as an independent TV journalist, documentary filmmaker, photographer, camera operator, editor and coach. I directed and co-directed several awarded documentaries and numerous promotional films. I am currently working in Brussels on different audio-visual and film projects for film production companies, EU institutions and international organizations, TV stations as well as audio-visual and film coach and consultant for different agencies and EU delegations.

Education

I graduated from the Faculty of Political science in Zagreb, department TV journalism and public relations. I have a master's degree both in audio-visual and film production as well as in audio-visual and film directing from French universities Paul Valery III in Montpellier and ESAV (Ecole supérieure d’audiovisuel) in Toulouse. Constantly striving to improve and provide my clients with the best possible work, I continue to develop myself professionally both through work and learning, always keeping up with new trends and technologies.

Experience

In over fifteen years of experience in filmmaking, video and photography, I had the opportunity to work for different clients in international environments such as in Nepal, Argentina, Ghana, Eritrea, Guinea, Bangladesh, Armenia, Georgia, Senegal, Azerbaijan and all around Europe. Most of my work is concentrated on social, environmental and development topics as well as audio-visual portrait storytelling, documentary filmmaking and institutional videos. I have also been a film selector and a jury member at various film festivals and a guest lecturer at universities, conferences and festivals.

Creative Work

In the last 10 years I have directed and co-directed several awarded documentaries that were screened at international festivals, in museums as well as on TV stations worldwide. As a photographer I had several group and individual photo exhibitions in Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, Italy and Belgium with the most recent ones in Rome and Zagreb covering the influence of the lockdown on our daily lives. I have recently finished my new documentary “Where have all the smiles gone” that is currently being screend at festivals, about Nepalese migrant workers and I am now working on the new documentary film “Khadia” about female genital mutilation.

Audiovisual and film equipment that me and my team are using is adapted to the latest trends and formats with excellent quality both in image and sound in filming and editing. We use mostly high-quality SONY ALPHA cameras such as SONY ALPHA 1, SONY ALPHA A74, G master lenses, RODE KIT and SENNHEISER audio equipment, RONIN S gimbals, LEDGO lights, DJI MAVIC drones and ADOBE creative suite for editing.
