Zoran Lisinac

Zoran Lisinac’s (1983, Serbia) creative spirit was in full swing even when he was just a child. At the age of 9, Zoran’s comic books were published weekly in the local magazine and at 19 Zoran became a student of filmmaking full time when he was one of 7 students to be accepted at the prestigious film school in Belgrade called Danube Film Academy.

After finishing film school, Zoran then made the move to Los Angeles to further pursue his dream of filmmaking. Since 2005, Zoran started writing behind the front desk of a Holiday Inn hotel in Santa Monica and since then has written six feature-length screenplays with full support of his managers. In mid-2007, Zoran formed Lisinac Bros. Productions, formerly Metakwon Filmworks with his brother Vladimir, and immediately started writing Along the Roadside, an original story for his multiple award winning directorial debut in 2012. Zoran has said goodbye to the hotel, but he has kept the fascination with the cultural diversity and integration to which the Santa Monica’s tourist hot spot exposed him and which will find a way in his later works.
