About Ivan

Widely recognized as a multidisciplinary creative force, Ivan Ožegović has built a career that bridges performance, writing, and directing, grounded in both artistic rigor and international perspective. As the Head of Programme at Maison du Cinéma in Cannes, he shapes and leads a platform that connects filmmakers, writers, and emerging talents, fostering a space where contemporary cinema is both created and critically examined.

A professionally trained actor with a degree from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, Ožegović has developed his craft across film, television, and theatre, cultivating a deep understanding of performance from within. Alongside his acting career, he has established himself as an award-winning screenwriter, recognized for his precision in narrative structure, layered character development, and a refined sense of storytelling rhythm.

His creative work naturally extends into directing, where he explores the relationship between performance and visual language. With experience in both theatre and film, he continues to develop his directorial voice through a specialized film program in Italy, further expanding his approach to contemporary storytelling and cinematic form.

What defines Ožegović’s trajectory is not a single discipline, but the dialogue between them—each practice informing the other, creating a cohesive and evolving artistic identity. At the core of his work lies a commitment to constant development, driven by the belief that true authorship emerges through the integration of craft, perspective, and experience.

The lessons are designed as a structured yet highly practical process, guiding each project from its earliest idea toward a clear, compelling, and fully developed script. Rather than approaching writing as something abstract or purely intuitive, Ivan Ožegović builds the work on a combination of established storytelling principles—primarily influenced by Robert McKee’s approach—and hands-on, industry-based experience.

At the core of the process is clarity. Through focused script analysis, each idea is broken down into its essential components: character, intention, conflict, and progression. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding characters from within—their emotional logic, motivations, and internal contradictions—ensuring that every action in the story feels necessary and truthful.

This perspective is deeply connected to Ožegović’s background as a professionally trained actor. His experience in performance allows him to approach writing from the inside out, treating characters not as concepts, but as living structures shaped by behavior, impulse, and emotional rhythm. This creates scripts that are not only structurally sound, but also playable—grounded in authentic human experience.

Alongside his acting work, Ožegović has written multiple scripts developed for both stage and film, bringing a practical understanding of how stories function in production, not just on the page. This dual perspective—craft and practice—defines the methodology of the lessons.

The process also focuses on eliminating unnecessary complexity. Instead of overloading the material, sessions aim to refine and simplify—strengthening narrative flow, sharpening dramatic beats, and ensuring that each moment serves a clear purpose. Writers are guided to recognize what truly matters in their story and to build around that core with precision and confidence.

Ultimately, the goal is not only to improve a specific script, but to develop a way of thinking about storytelling—one that is clear, structured, and rooted in both theory and real creative experience.
