He has made a number of short films, including A Short Film about Yuri Gagarin (Kratki film za Yuri Gagarin, 1995), for which he received the Main Prize at the festival in Varna. He was hailed for his super-short film Lucy Tsak Tsak (2000) where, in 67 slates, he incorporated the 30-year endeavours of the film’s clapperboard heroine.
