The good thing about the digital age is that now it is possible to make a movie and experience the whole adventure of this process just with the help of several friends and without a whole movie industry behind or without any other limitations, says Marko.

He believes movies should be made by anyone who wants to express that way, regardless of gender or other factors. His ideal are the directors whose films are deeply authorial, specific, genres for themselves and who have left the magical impact and unforgettable experiences on him as a spectator. For example, films of Andrej Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, David Lynch, Guy Maddin. During film-making, his goal is to bring his attitudes and perceptions around him into the film, in other words to create his own world.

Marko enjoys the process of making which is very interesting and brings him an enormous experience from various spheres of life. Sometimes his days are perfect, and he compares this with the feeling of playing some childhood games where everything goes the way it should. The film history of our country is overwhelming. Croatian film H-8 is his favourite, and his favourite foreign film is Eraserhead. While watching movies, he likes to wander along with the movie, to feel something familiar to him or maybe the unknown – that from the perspective of particular author. He loves beautiful children’s films such as The Red Balloon, The Girl and the Echo, The Fall, Seventh Continent (Sedmi kontinent) by the author Dušan Vukotic. His desire is to visit Star Film Fest. He has an opinion that the organization and location of the festival is great and therefore he will be happy to sign up again for Star Film Fest with the new film. He is currently creating a new film entitled “Listen Little Man” (Čuj mali čovječe). The film’s plot is happening in the present. The driving force for him is this current bizarre reality around us, i.e. distorted values, false and meaningless everyday information that poison our subconsciousness. For that reason it becomes difficult for us to preserve our own personality and to think in a common sense.

The society teaches us that it’s OK to bite hard and run over everything in life to promote yourself, for the purpose of egocentrism and greed because it’s the only way to succeed. Marko thinks we are collectively going in the wrong direction, towards the catastrophe. Those are the thoughts the author tries to implement in the film with the hope that he is going in the right direction to convey his message to audience.
