This short film was made as the final project for my FMP 100 (or 101) class in late 2022. I really had fun with this one and while the shooting process was a little difficult at times, it was all around a terrific experience for me to work on a short film, even if it was on my own.

ATTENTION: This is a test teaser, for which I wrote the script, developed the story, and edited myself. The audio problem is because I edited it as a base for the production company to use when editing for excellence, but unfortunately there was a problem with the production company's drive and we lost the editing files, leaving only this test video, and it wasn't possible to record it again. It's a dream that slipped through my fingers, but this is an example of my effort, talent, and focus. I know I can do much more.

“ In his final attempt to save a dying horror radio show, Mike invites a voice actor live on air—unaware that the guest will turn the broadcast into a nightmare. ”

Bilingual Russian-Serbian play about emigration, lost homes, inner "monsters" we carry, and the painful yet liberating path to self-acceptance. In Emigrant Fairy Tale (ploHorošo), fairy-tale structure meets raw contemporary reality: characters leave everything behind, cross borders both literal and emotional, confront their own shadows, and search for a new kind of belonging. The text deliberately blends Russian and Serbian — words, phrases, entire monologues switch languages mid-sentence — with subtitles ensuring everyone follows. What emerges is shared laughter at absurd situations, tears over universal losses, and moments of unexpected tenderness that bridge two cultures in one evening. Directed in an intimate chamber style with ironic melancholy and psychological depth, the production creates a rare space where post-2022 Russian émigrés and local Serbs recognize each other’s pain and hope. Premiered in late 2024 in Belgrade, it became a small but powerful point of connection in a divided time. One stage, two languages, many stories. Come see how monsters can become allies, and how a new home is built not from walls, but from shared vulnerability.
