About Me

I love cinema, especially experimental and avant-garde work. I am a filmmaker and critic.
I write for the Belgian site Photogenie.be
and I run my own site: ultradogme.com

I often travel to see films and attend festivals.

I live together with my partner, Tijana (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/tijana.perovic) in Weissensee, Berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like hearing about different opinions about the function of art on a personal level and how people interact with it.

Interests

I am passionate about cinema, but music is a close second.
