Goran Nacinovic

about

hi, 


I’m Goran, and my passion for storytelling as a filmmaker is deeply inspired by the diverse experiences I've gained while traveling the globe. My journey began in the charming town of Labin, Croatia, and has taken me across the world, immersing myself in various cultures. Now, I call Phoenix, Arizona home, where I focus on capturing the same emotion and authenticity in my photography that I aim for in my films. My work has not only lit up the screen but also found its place in exhibitions, adding depth to my storytelling.

FULL BIO

Goran Nacinovic comes from the picturesque town of Labin, Croatia, where his love for visual storytelling began. As a filmmaker and photographer, his work has been showcased at numerous film festivals around the world, receiving recognition through several awards.

Goran is a passionate traveler, finding inspiration in the cultures he explores. His interest in photography started in 2008 and has grown into a deep passion. His work has been showcased in exhibitions, allowing him to share these experiences with a wider audience.

Over time, Goran moved into filmmaking, focusing on commercial projects and documentaries. In 2020, he relocated to the United States, where new landscapes and stories inspired his work. That year, he directed his first feature documentary, "Labinska Republika," for Croatian national TV - HRT, which explored the history of his hometown and marked a significant achievement in his career.

For Goran, filmmaking goes beyond just capturing movement; it’s about crafting a visual poem where each frame contributes to the story and invites the audience into his world. He places a high value on collaborating with other artists, convinced that shared creativity brings depth and richness to the storytelling process.

Goran also co-founded and played a key role in establishing an award-winning production company in Croatia, reflecting his passion for collaborative creativity.
