Director Biography - Jovan Bačvanski

I was born in Novi Sad, Serbia on February 17, 2000. Three months after I was born, my family and I moved to Montenegro as missionaries, because my father became the Pastor of the Protestant Evangelical Church „Christ Gospel“ in Podgorica.

There I finished both Elementary and High School and later enrolled at the University of Donja Gorica, to study film.

I became part of the first generation of a new film and media study program on that University.

I started the first year without any prior knowledge of film, all I knew was that I love film and that I want to dedicate myself to learning and progress until I become successful and happy in what I do.

I'm 21 years old and I'm currently a 3rd and final year film student. My goal after I finish school is to make movies all over the world, meet new people and share my imagination and creativity with them.

Apart from film, I also like to do photography, travel, hike and play sports.
