The Director

Dušan Sekulović (Doo-shan Sekoolovich), Yugoslavian by origin, was born to a German mother that only spoke Italian. Years later, after graduating as an engineer, he was set on building spaceships and Martian exploration vehicles.

He quickly realized that the only way he was going to be walking on Mars is if he told stories. Tall ones that is.

With the voice of his French teacher (who was Italian) saying "You are craz'ie", after she listened to the epic radio show Dušan had recorded in 9th grade — Dušan set off to write and make movies.

Shooting his own short movies in London while working as a gaffer, grip, boom-operator, runner, assistant and coffee machine for a couple of years, made Dušan forget about walking on Mars.

So to refocus his energy Dušan moved to New York. While working in a fresh orange juice bar Dušan landed a job in advertising. After wasting a couple of more years drinking beer with the shallow advertising world, Dušan realized he had forgotten, again, about walking on Mars.

So he stopped drinking , moved to Brooklyn, saved some money, wrote a script and shot Pussyfoot.
