Bio

Hi! I’m Ivy Jelisavac, I’m a director & editor based in Berlin.

My commercial clients include Greenpeace, London Fashion Week, House of Lords, C&A and others.

My dramedy series Relationshit was released in 2019 on Amazon Prime. My short films - among them If You Want To Love Me, Staying On My Feet and Thick Air - have screened internationally.

I’m currently writing a new feature film, Sipping Air. This project was selected for the German Directors Guild’s 2026 Wild@Heart Pitch Lab and won 2nd place.

In 2018, I was selected for Reykjavik International Film Festival’s Talent Lab and the Network Notes track of ITVfest.
I have served as a jury member for Edmonton Short Film Festival and Minnesota Film Fest.

In association with the Royal Court theatre, I hosted a filmmaking workshop for underprivileged young people in London.
I also taught as a guest lecturer on Independent Production, Stress Management and Working With Actors at Raindance Film School and Western Washington University.

In film, my work explores what it’s like to be human and contains themes of connection, ambition, and resilience of spirit. In commercial & branded content, I specialise in inspiring stories and tongue-in-cheek comedy.
