Originally from Serbia Co Director and Cinematographer Bajro Alicic, now lives and works in Austria. Until recently he worked in television, now he works as a marketing video producer. “For as long as I can remember, my passion has been movies and stories. I started to express this by performing in school. Later going on to work as an actor in the theatre, as well as on several television projects. It didn't take me long to turn my attention to independent production. At the time I was stealing a trade where I could, so eventually I learned to use the camera as well as everything you need in digital post-production cut and colour grade.”

A former conflict and Human Rights Journalist, Victoria originally did opera camp and studied Drama GCSE at Cirencester Deer Park School where she got an A1 in Drama and played parts ranging from a Young Jet in West Side Story, Angelo in Measure For Measure and Prostitute in Hogarth's London. She also studied Stanislavski and Bertold Brecht.

Victoria went on to study Theatre Studies A'Level. She also studied Ballet. Kicked out of home in the early 90s (her late teens), and unable to afford to pursue acting Victoria moved to her dual passion of rock photography and working in menial jobs, becoming friends with Film Star Robert Addie and his US wife Jan who lived locally.

She has had several careers and has an MA in International Journalism and broadcast journalism, which she furthered producing TV News at APTN and her MS necessitated another career change and she did a screenwriting, production and direction courses with Diane Bell, and studied theatre remotely with Ken Davenport and TheatreMakers Studios in NY.

She has written several features HETV and a memoir. She is passionate about some good cinema and has parented her seventeen year- old daughter Sheba (who is mixed-race, half Giriama and a co owner and part-time Production / location / other assistant / Spanish and Latin translator / general dogsbody /Arts Council grant application filler, occasional co writer, vicious critic, plot hole vandal, luggage carrier, wheelchair pusher in galleries, and sole (unfunded) carer alone since age early 2009 with the help of Westonbirt boarding school since 2017.

Sheba is currently sitting her A'Level exams in English, Spanish and Classical Civilisation and has also studied Leiths, LAMDA to Grade 5, ABRSM singing to I think about grade 3-4, Ballet to Grade 4 Russian Method, and has performed in the Cheltenham and Mid Somerset Festivals getting Honours and Distinctions in Singing and Distinction Acting is doing her Gold DofE.

She is also a Rookie Lifeguard I think to Silver Level and passed every Swimming exam bar the mile swim. She has done some Polo classes and occasionally works as a polo goal judge.

She advises on horse scenes in Angevin and Sang Infernal and in Highgate "Laurent". She is also a talented artist and is supposed to have been working on painting a poster for Highgate "Laurent" since either Mother's Day or my Birthday.

The feature screenplay is excerpted from about the real Dr John Polidori. Which John's Monologue is an excerpt from, and which I originally wrote while adapting the feature for stage on a TheatreMakers Studio course. I also adapted another feature in the trilogy Dante and Lizzie at the same time and it was a discussion about this with German actor Tobias Herrman that led me to Jakob in the first place.

I immediately asked both to attach to play in Angevin and wrote parts specifically for them, in roles better suited to them and have applied for grant funding to shoot a few scenes. I am also considering Jakob as Chopin's Father in an epic I wrote Chopin and offered Chalamet a share of the Script to play in, as that was written with his talents mind. I also offered him coproduction.

Chopin also has a letter of comfort from the BFI and is another sweeping epic better suited to Scorsese, Coppola or Speilberg than to Villeneuve to Edgar Wright- as is the vampyre. The trilogy being steeped in Italian culture. Though if Timothée wanted to co-direct I would consider it.
