História

Best known for his emotionally powerful films that take viewers to exotic parts of the globe, director Roko Belic was born in 1971 in Seattle to Czechoslovakian and Yugoslavian parents. He grew up in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois. During his childhood, his mother used a wrench to lock a broken dial on the family TV to the local PBS channel. Belic became enchanted with non-fiction programs that gave him a “window to the world” and his passion for film was born. His first film-making experience was in third grade with his brother, Adrian, when they borrowed a super-8 movie camera from their parents. Belic attended the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he studied studio arts and foreign languages. During college, he took a year away from his studies to travel around the world among the cultures and people that would eventually become the inspiration for his work. Shortly after graduation, Belic and his brother founded the film production company Wadi Rum Films.

Happy: Você é Feliz?
Producer
Happy é um documentário de 2011 dirigido, escrito e co-produzido por Roko Belic. Ele explora a felicidade humana por meio de entrevistas com pessoas de todas as esferas da vida em 14 países diferentes, tecendo as mais novas descobertas da psicologia positiva. O diretor Roko Belic foi originalmente inspirado para criar o filme depois que o produtor/diretor Tom Shadyac mostrou a ele um artigo no New York Times intitulado "Uma Nova Medida de Bem-Estar de um Pequeno Reino Feliz" . O artigo classifica os Estados Unidos como o 23º país mais feliz do mundo. Shadyac então sugeriu que Belic fizesse um documentário sobre a felicidade. Belic passou vários anos entrevistando mais de 20 pessoas, desde os principais pesquisadores da felicidade a um motorista de riquixá em Kolkatta, uma família que vive em uma "comunidade de co-habitação" na Dinamarca, uma mulher que foi atropelada por um caminhão, um pescador cajun e mais.

I Am
Cinematography
I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

Fame Whore
Delivery Boy
This film involves three interwoven stories with the only seeming connection being the delusions of the involved leads. In the first element of the film, a hot-tempered world tennis star loses endorsement contracts when the press outs him even though he claims the report is false. In the second, a talent-less woman struggles to make it in the world of fashion design or the music video business. In the last, an animal activist runs a dog-adoption agency and has an imaginary friend who appears in a St. Bernard suit.
