Biography

Matjaž Ivanišin is a Slovenian director, screenwriter, and director of photography. He was born in 1981 in Maribor, Yugoslavia [now Slovenia]. He worked at the Small Stage (First Stage) of the First Gymnasium Maribor under the mentorship of Jernej Lorencij. In 2000, he enrolled in the study of film and television directing at AGRFT, which he completed in 2007. He mostly dedicates himself to documentary film, which in his experience requires more effort than a feature film, as its author also has to deal with filming, editing, organization, and finances.
