About Anja Djuricic
Anja Djuricic was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1992. Her first interest in film started very early, as she learned to speak English by watching Disney animated movies (and many, many reruns). Anja soon became inspired to learn more foreign languages so she could watch more movies - so she entered Japanese language and literature Bachelor Studies at the University of Belgrade.
Besides her love of film, Anja often expresses herself through music; she's one of the founders of the DJ duo Vazda Garant, and they perform focusing on underground electronic music, influenced by the folks who pioneered dubstep, jungle, and drum'n'bass, to name a few.
Besides dedicating herself to these two art forms, Anja loves to do puzzles in her spare time, pet cats wherever she meets them, and play The Sims. Anja's Letterboxd four includes - Hot Fuzz, Snatch, The Bad Sleep Well, and Memories of Murder. Other favorites include The Wailing, Parasite, The Thing, and Evil Dead.
Industry Experience
I've enjoyed writing since I was a teen, but my career path took me all over the place during the years. After graduating from university, I taught English for about five years, while also learning about cultures from all over the world. My students were typically adults from all over Europe, South Korea, China, Japan, and even Brazil.
After that, I got into marketing and SEO, where I started off as a content writer and moved my way up to an SEO specialist. Despite all this industry experience, my ideal job is writing (especially about cinema and TV) - which is why I've been at Collider for a little over a year now.
I have also worked as a subtitle translator for TV shows, and as a ghost writer for entertainment blogs. I am part of a DJ duo called Vazda Garant, and we perform often, and have event planning experience.
Author Details
My name is Anja Djuricic (prononunced Anya Doo-ree-chich) and I am from Belgrade, Serbia. My biggest passion has always been writing, and I started inventing and telling stories very early in life. It's a passion I set aside for a while, but realized recently that it never really left me. Everything I did led me to realize that writing is the one thing I'm most passionate about. If that becomes noticeable in any way, I will be grateful - the best thing that could happen is having my inner child filled with joy that it gets to do what it always wanted. I appreciate any and all consideration, especially if it resonates.
Favorite Media
I love writing about movies the most, it's my favorite medium. I am really interested in Asian cinema, with a special love for Akira Kurosawa and Bong Joon-ho. Some of my favorite directors include Edgar Wright, Mike Flanagan, Karyn Kusama, and Martin Scorsese, so if there's anything I could write about them, I'd jump at the chance. I like TV series, too, especially series like Atlanta - offbeat and dark, but also funny and deeply analytical. I believe Atlanta is one of the best series ever made, for sure.
