About me
Fixing, producing, line producing, location scouting and location managing for foreign TV and film crews on locations in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1990, currently also covering Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia - i.e. all countries of former Yugoslavia. I often set up shooting for TV series and documentaries that need to shoot in several of those countries.Experience in TV, film, print, radio (editor, journalist), Web.
Professional interpreter (Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian - English).
As a former editor and journalist, I prefer setting up documentaries, but I also do feature films and reality TV, corporate and commercials. I am happy to help you develop story ideas, I enjoy researching, script writing and script reading. I am also interested in co-writing scripts.
WHAT MAKES ME AN EXPERT ON FORMER YUGOSLAV COUNTRIES?
I was born, raised, educated and started my career at the times of the former Yugoslavia. As a tourist guide, I got to know the people, their (sometimes surprisingly different!) cultures and landscapes really well before it fell apart.
That is why I can say with confidence that I am an expert in former Yugoslav countries. With almost three decades of experience as a Fixer, Local Producer, Line Producer, Location Scout and Location Manager in the area, I developed very good relationships with the governments and good connections in all those countries.
