Born in 1967 in Slovenia.
2001 graduated from Ljubljana (Slovenia) film academy.
Worked for Slovenian National Television as a TV director for more than 15 years.
In 2005 moved to Berlin with big plans. Started onionfilms (www.onionfilms.de) with purpose of creating documentary and feature films.
I co-directed and co-produced documentary film “Amigo” which was selected as the best documentary film in Slovenia in 2003 and got an award for the “Artistic achievement” on international film festival “Golden knight” in Kaluga Russia.
For National Slovenian TV I have also written and directed a documentary film “Blue is the Sky” which you can see here http://vimeo.com/16630621

I hve traveled with my motorbike through Sahara, Balkans and Middle East. I love the sea.
I am learning to live in the "now" and make the best of it.
