Director’s Bio
As filmmakers we strive to bring to the audience the stories that move us, stories that provoke an emotional reaction. But I had made it my mission ever since I survived the Kosovo War, that I am going to try to tell stories that will raise awareness about what surrounds us. Stories that don’t end when the movie ends!
It is our responsibility as filmmakers to make a difference, to make viewers of our stories want to participate in the debate our storytelling triggers. I strive to engage the audience into taking action in the issues that matter to me and to the society we live in. Together we can make a difference.
Lunch Tha General raises awareness about Lupus.
Lunch Tha General is an inspiring story about never giving up.
I hope it inspires you to do something about what you see on screen.
