Biography

The collective of humans behind the art-documentary short film Бalkan Queen comes together for the first time. A gathering of individuals from different paths - some with no background in filmmaking - united by a shared instinct: to tell real stories that question the accepted and celebrate what is often overlooked. Each brings a distinct way of feeling the world’s wrongs, and together they shape an act of honest expression. With shared resources and freely given time, they are united by one cause: love is love.
