This creation story, this madness that suddenly appeared at dawn after evenings of personal challenges and sleep paralysis, might be one for the ancient astronaut theorists, and, perhaps, spiritual enthusiasts.
Goran Zivanovic is a respected Screenwriting/Filmmaking Lecturer who co-founded Gothic Zen® Studios with his wife, Clare, and has encouraged many film and acting students to fly their freak flags. His raw and honest approach to life, and art, form part of his authentic storytelling experience.
Known for his hauntingly seductive style, Goran tends to inject unsettling realities and themes into his narratives. Many of his characters are females who fight “the system” and reveal inner strength in adverse situations along their journey to a resolution. These kinds of stories originated from Goran’s personal observations with emotionally affected people who have an undercurrent of generational wounding.
Goran adapted one of his novels into a limited series screenplay with the potential for expanding the project. “Soul Piercer” is a unique blend of a phycological drama with supernatural/metaphysical elements. It contains extremely triggering scenes and is aimed at an audience who appreciate esoteric productions.
Goran also wrote an award-winning feature length screenplay that’s a historical psychological drama. The setting is in New York City in 1963, which was a tragic year for many Americans, and Eastern Europe in the 1950s. This screenplay primarily features female leads and is a disturbing survival account of a young female teenager finding balance between family and self-preservation.
Goran Zivanovic continues to develop fresh material and honours the art of authentic storytelling.
