                          Photo credit: Olivier Bac Life is beautiful. Life is beautiful when we make it beautiful. Beauty comes from inside to outside. A person with a beautiful soul will always have a beautiful body. Eyes never lie. If you look into my eyes, you can read lots of things; you can see beauty, genuineness, honesty, sharpness, happiness, love. What you see it's so true - I give and receive lots of love every day. Sometimes it is so much that overwhelms me and not sure how to react. Actually, this is what happened this year - a year of hope, love, hate, softness and happiness: 2016 was far too difficult for me, can't wait to see this year as past. 1. My 1st feature film  After the post-production I sent it to festivals craving for recognition; ended up with failure after failure. I must admit that in my life there were very few professional failures, and it was so difficult for me to take it t...

I have a big soul full of happiness. I am keen to share it with you if you need a piece of my happiness. I am happy to give out of it as much as possible as  the more I give,  the more I have.   I believe in trust, pozitivity and good feelings. I see beauty. Everywhere. Inside me and around the things I am surrounded by;  inside you and around the things you are surrounded by. Beauty is here, there, in every corner. You have to open your mind and see it. Life is so simple and beautiful if you know what you want, am I right? Life is so amazing and unpredictable if you let it choose, instead of choosing yourself. Life is the best gift for us as human beings if we know to make it unforgettable. Life is a blessing. We have the most beautiful existence, here, in this world, in this specific moment. Live your life the best way you can, the easiest you can, the simplest you can. Then you have everything, as everything is possible in this world.  Even to have...

It is always about people. Life. Love. Success. Progress. Career. We can't do anything without people, can we? We are social beings, we are loving and caring beings. We can't be happy without people around us. This year was amazing for me, especially because I have found wonderful people. My life turned out beautifully because of these great humans I had the chance to meet and keep in my life. All we do is with people's help. All I did was with your contribution. Thank you for being with me! This time last year, I was planning my film production. I dreamed with my eyes open. Today I am planing the distribution of that film. It is good to plan, it is even better to dream. I dream a lot. I plan a lot. I dare a lot.  Maybe Robin Sharma is right, it is all about focusing on the thing you really, really want: Coming back to the people I have met this year: wonderful individuals! A big group of them involved in my feature film production  - we shared the same idea, th...

I don't know with what to start. Yes, we managed to finish the production...with a lot of debts but still, we did it! Actors were not paid, the film crew was not paid, some filming equipment needs to be paid (the lights and the electrical generator). There is a lot of pressure on me as a producer and director. Sometimes I just want to drop everything and run away. But how can I? Too late now...too much done already...we only have the post-production left! But man, this is a lot of work!!! Even after shooting, it still feels like you are in the middle of the project! The post-production, publicity and distribution is somehow more important than anything else! No one told me that producing a film is so hard. Although I will somehow manage to do this project with 25 000 euros, two millions euro still don't seem enough. Sometimes I wonder....why all the people, producers, directors I talked with ...never told me about the real costs of a movie? WHY?????? The sound for a...

People complained they find it  difficult to  get information about how to donate for my film. Here we have our fundraising campaign   (please hurry, we film soon). Our  film website   here I have been thinking how to make this more visible and also took the point of publishing the banking details on my blog. First, there is a campaign opened on IndiegoGo   , you can access the website and pay via Pay Pal or directly with your debit or credit card. On the IndiegoGo  website there are details about the film, the team involved in this project, the amount we need and the plan that we have to fulfill our goal. I f you want to send your donation straight to our bank account, there are three available accounts  as well. For you, to benefit from the fiscal subvention and to be able to deduce your income tax from the donation, w e made a partnership with  Connections Association - an NPO that supports youth initiati...

    If you come and visit Macedonia, you definitely need to visit Ohrid. Before writing the post for you, I had a look on Ohrid’s history, maybe I can share something interesting here. Well, this small beautiful country called Macedonia has had a lot of things happen in its history.   A lot of war and a lot of social, religious and political pressure.   And still, the country in itself it is so natural, attractive, sunny and warm. But let me come back to Ohrid.   The city is considered the ‘treasure of Macedonia’ and it is known today as one of the best touristic places in the country.   Ohrid is situated in the S-W part of Macedonia, on the banks of Lake Ohrid. The name of the place was initially Lychnidos and in Latin Lychnidus, a name given by the Greeks and which can be translated as the ‘city of light’ or ‘a precious stone that emits light’. After 879 AD, when the area was conquered by Slaves, the city took the name ...
