About Me

Hello!-) I'm a cinematographer living and working mostly in Serbia.

I'm a curious and open-minded person who genuinely enjoys meeting people and appreciate them as they are. I try to treat others the way I’d like to be treated — with kindness and respect. As for the rest, I think it’s best left for others to say. Check the references :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is good to have locals show you the town... and it's even better if you can live with them for couple of days, that comes as a true experience of certain place.

I'm not that much interested in popular, touristy places, but more into some local/somehow unique places, pubs, streets,.. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a coast to coast road trip in a car "Yugo", through 23 US States. During that trip we shot a feature documentary film that is coming up next year!! I was co-director and cinematographer, which makes it my first feature project. :)
