Boris did his first movie in 1999, a documentary on the Inka tribe in Peru and Bolivia. 2001 he started studying at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, Croatia. From 2006 his official title is MA Producer for film, TV and theatre. Since January 2023 Boris is working at eitelsonnenschein as Production Manager. At eitelsonnenschein he especially likes his colleagues. „They’re so relaxed, but still very focused. I see eitelsonnenschein as a company, which will grow. One could say that I’m Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.“ he laughs.
Boris has a traveler’s soul. He visited more than 100 countries worldwide in very special ways (traveling on foot from Russia to France, on foot from Europe to The Sahara, riding a scooter to China and back, writing 4 travel books, etc.). „I like to make AV projects of all kinds. I just love making movies.“ There are many anecdotes in the last 24 years, which Boris has to share. He mentions the one when the stunt coordinator from the South African Republic smashed the wall in a casino, owned by the mafia, at 2 o’clock in the morning: „And I needed him the next morning on set“, he smiles. „Further, I will never forget producing the movie ‘Fishing and Fishermen’s Conversations’. 70% of the movie was filmed at and on the Adriatic Sea. Those who did similar projects know what I’m talking about.“
His greatest weakness? „German is not my native language, but my goal is to make it as perfect as possible.“ Boris’ dream is to produce big feature films with eitelsonnenschein. „By the way, my zodiac sign is Capricorn – I will do it!“ he says. – We’re pretty sure about that, Boris!
