He shot two short films for international project Straight8 that were selected in top six and shown at the Cannes Film Festival. He also worked as an assistant director with Jan Sverak on his Academy Award winning film “Kolja” (1996). In 2012 he started his own production company TVORBA films. “Home Care” is his feature debut.
