Marko Slavnic

Marko Slavnić was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and came to the United States with his family in 1991 when he was just eight years old. He grew up in Austin, Texas, where he graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in RTF (radio, television and film).

After college, Marko began his professional career creating corporate and commercial videos for several national and international companies. However, with a passion and a talent for storytelling, he recently began pursuing more creative outlets of filmmaking.

Marko’s first two short films since college, which were shot simultaneously, were met with instant success. “Table 7,” is currently playing at several prestigious international film festivals and “Chicken vs. Penguin” went on to win the $100,000 Nikon Film Festival grand prize.

“In addition, “Table 7,” and Marko’s latest short film “Shades of Grey,” both advanced to semi-final round in the 2010 Doorpost Film Project. Marko most recently directed the Canon sponsored pilot “Behind the Lens,” and is currently in production on two new short films.
