Summer Time

...and the weather is easy. After the heat-wave last week I can finally do few things (not just trying to survive in horizontal position). Last week, apart from few meetings, I haven't done much. I shot a statement for Slovenian internet portal vest.si regarding the situation in Slovenian film industry. It's a long story and I don't want to go in details here but few guys in power managed to destroy the politic of Slovenian Film Fund literally over the night. The text in the statement is:
The situation in Slovenian film is finaly balanced and it can be explained by Newton's 3rd Law: If object A exerts a force on object B,
then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
Populary we call it the law of action and reaction.


Yesterday we had a barbecue with a guys from Luksuz Production. At around 6 p.m. it was still quite easy and then exactly at 7 p.m. we started. I was chef, because I really enjoy in that and the great thing isthat the day before Tom bought new grill.

In few hours I will go to Ljubljana. The whole next week we will continue shooting Brina's portrait for national TV.

Business With Pleasure


As usual, I would say. As I moved to Paris, my visits to Slovenia are always connected with some work and a lot of pleasure. Last week I spent two days in Ljubljana because we were shooting "Slovenian part" of the documentary Lady Svit. I stayed at my friends appartment Nino and Jelena. I know them for quite long and we have also very long professional relationship: Jelena made music for my first video films, then they both made music for Straight Ahead, after that I've worked for almost two years on docu-fiction TV emission Odklop and Nino was making the music and again we worked together on paris.love.
Shooting days with Brina were very nice. First day we spent in Ljubljana shooting interviews with Zdravko Dusa - her editor and Peter Kolsek, writter and old friend of Brina. Peter was a bit ill so we couldn't do a lot with him, but the part we shot was very nice and we caught some emotional moments.
Next day we went to Kras, where Brina and Pascal have their house - summer residence. Unfortunately no pictures from there but for the next time I promise some because the place is magnificent.

Welcome To Slovenia

I know, I know, it's been a while. So, I'm in Slovenia since last Monday. My friends from DZMP gave me the place to stay. Here you can see it:

I came in Slovenia in the middle of the night. On our way to Krsko we picked up two hitchhikers, Legba and Lauren. Here is what they told us, after a night spent in the club:
