I am a documentary filmmaker from Belgrade, Serbia, with over four years of hands-on experience filming real people and real lives. I value authenticity, trust, and long-term observation over staged moments, and I am deeply interested in people, their routines, and personal journeys. I believe the strongest stories emerge when the camera becomes a natural presence alongside everyday life. I approach filmmaking as a long-term relationship, focusing on honest interactions, natural behavior, and emotional continuity rather than performance. I am comfortable filming extended periods and building stories gradually over time. My work leans toward reality-style formats that align with long-term family documentary storytelling, and I regularly collaborate with creative communities. I am the co-founder of a creative studio and continually strive to tell truthful, intention-driven stories with a calm, observational style.
