I would take them to HoneyBee in Los Feliz to try my favorite plant-based burger or my favorite Indian food at India’s Restaurant in Silver Lake. Also, a hidden part of Point Dume beach is a place I enjoy because it doesn’t get that crowded. Same for one specific spot in Topanga Canyon. It is a place where I often go just to be alone. There is a hidden little spot with a full-panoramic city view on a hike between Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory that I accidentally discovered. If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to? I think that’s not my job, because I observe myself only through my eyes. What really separates me from others is not for me to say. So, I’m proud of the work I’ve done so far, and I am excitingly waiting for new challenges. Over the last couple of years, I learned to be grateful. I directed my first film last month and right now I am in the editing process. Mostly plays and short films at this moment. However, I think whatever we choose to do in life, if we do it with true-love, tenaciousness and authenticity, we can feed our purpose.Īlright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally? Needless to say, the artistic path is full of frustration and insecurity. I’ve never done anything in life where people said I was good at, until I stepped on stage and did what I wanted and thought I could do. It gives me courage to go to the unknown and simply be free. It allows me to express myself on stage in a way I maybe wouldn’t be allowed in real life. It makes me interested in every single thing I do, and it completely changes the way I look at life. It constantly makes me aware of how much I don’t know and how much I have to learn. I chose this path because – acting gives me an opportunity to work on myself, to experiment my psyche and my emotions, to investigate human species and human relationships, to fully connect with and relate to any living species, to be involved with the issues that our world is tied to, to form an opinion, and most importantly to always dig for truth. Once I was affirmed that you could actually get paid for acting, I knew without doubt what job I wanted to have. I looked at it as a normal surviving mechanism. I was always involved with acting, one way or another, but it never occurred to me that one could pursue that as a career.

Hi Vas, why did you pursue a creative career?Īt a certain point I realized that I have a right to choose what I want to do with my life. We had the good fortune of connecting with Vas Batricevic and we’ve shared our conversation below.
