FNE: What was the deciding factor in your choice to become a documentary film producer?

Tena Gojić: After graduating in production, I worked on numerous fiction films and after some experience I wanted to broaden my horizon, so I went into documentaries, which for me are interesting because of the process calling for more flexibility and a different approach in producing. The fusion of documentaries and fiction are the films I like to watch and make.

FNE: What has been your most rewarding moment as a documentary film producer?

Tena Gojić: The establishment of trust between the protagonist and the crew.

FNE: What one mistake would you advise beginning documentary film producers to avoid?

Tena Gojić: It is easy to burn out quickly in our profession, which is determined by precarious working conditions, so it is very important to give yourself time to rest and not feel guilty. Only in such a way you can give your maximum when needed.
