Director Statement
“Tree of Life” is a whimsical short that gives nod to classic fables and fantasy stories. As the director, my focus was to maintain the integrity of the script and create a fun, magical world where Humans and Nymphs can co-exist. We utilized VFX to add a magical twist to the narrative, which enhanced the comedic elements of the film. We also worked closely with our talented cast to ensure that the dialogue flowed smoothly, allowing it to inform our camera movements and capture the essence and fun cadence of the story.
Ultimately, “Tree of Life” is a reminder that we all have a role to play in protecting our planet. By using humor and magic, we hope to inspire viewers to take action towards preserving our environment, while also providing them with a few laughs.
Marko Skakavac
Director
During my junior year, I, Marko Skakavac, a Serbian kid with refugee roots, had a seemingly cool idea—creating “Unspoken,” a documentary about my heritage amid the Yugoslavian War. Yet, as I continued deeper, I realized it could be more than just my story. It became a platform to educate current and future generations about the unspoken aspects of war, reaching those whose parents choose silence and others unaware of the historical impact. “Unspoken” is my attempt to break the silence not just for those who lived through it but also for those who couldn’t live to witness the impact.
