I am a scriptwriter, script consultant, production manager and executive producer, based between Berlin and Sofia, Bulgaria, with 13 years of experience as a writer of feature films, shorts, TV series and documentaries. I'm largely known for my collaboration with filmmakers Petar Valchanov and Kristina Grozeva. I co-wrote and played a small screen part in their award-winning second feature Glory (2016), co-wrote and assistant-directed their third feature The Father (2019), winner of the Karlovy Vary Crystal Globe, and developed, co-wrote and executive-produced their upcoming fourth feature Triumph (2024). I also scripted Blue Birds Island (2019), a limited children series for the Bulgarian National Television. With the English-language story-driven sci-fi adventure game Elea (2018), developed by Bulgarian indie studio Kyodai, I've ventured out into video game territory.
I hold a BA in Dramaturgy from the National Academy of Theater and Film Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria, and am a 4Corners, MIDPOINT, Talents Sarajevo and Berlinale Talents alum. Since 2021 I am an active EACEA (MEDIA) external expert. Together with director Kamen Kolarov I am the co-founder and managing partner of Sofia-based production company Dystopia Films.
In September 2023 I set up second base in Berlin and am open for jobs in development and/or production. I'm fluent in both English and German.
