Jovan Bačvanski was born in Novi Sad, Serbia on February 17, 2000. Three months after birth, he and his family moved to Montenegro as missionaries, because his father became the Pastor of the Protestant Evangelical Church „Christ Gospel“ in Podgorica.
There he finished both Elementary and High School and later enrolled at the University of Donja Gorica, to study film. He became part of the first generation of a new film and media study program on that University.
He started his freshman year without any knowledge of film. All he had was love for film and passion and desire to learn and improve in what he does until he becomes successful.
He is currently 22 years old and has just graduated from the University. During his studies he made several short films that were screened at festivals, such as "My Life Is a Miracle", "Breakfast" and "The Compass".
Besides film, he likes photography, sports, hiking and traveling.
