Director’s Biography:
After studying journalism, Bogdan worked as an editor, copywriter and novelist, until 2005 when he became the youngest Creative Director in the European advertising industry, at the age of 27. Nonetheless, his interests in cinema led him to study screenwriting and producing at the University of Westminster, London and then to a career in the industry. He began as a script reader for Slingshot Studios in London and then he started his collaboration with MediaPro Pictures. After writing several scripts (“Ho Ho Ho,” “Rural Story,” and “180”), he gained the chance to direct his own project, “Bora Bora,” in 2010.
