Vital Butinar

From an early age, Vital had a passion for filmmaking.

He was introduced to it by a friend whose father was a filmmaker and together, they made their first action-packed film at a friend's birthday party.

When Vital's father purchased his first video camera, he immediately became hooked on filmmaking and began making films with his friends, though their limited resources as children prevented them from producing any real films.

Later, while studying graphic design at university, Vital discovered his love for photography and later, for filmmaking.

Unfortunately, without access to any filmmaking equipment, his interest was put on hold for a few years.

During that time, Vital pursued his other interest, dancing, and had the chance to act in a commercial as a dancer.

Being on a real film set reminded him of his passion for filmmaking and with encouragement from his partner, he decided to pursue it again.

He began learning as much as he could about the craft by finding work as an extra on film sets and reading books on filmmaking.

Eventually, Vital decided to put his knowledge into practice and together with his partner, they filmed their own dance video, learning how to approach a project like that.

They were soon contacted by friends who wanted a dance video, and from there, they formed Mirror 2 Mirror Productions.

Vital has since directed and produced many films, documentaries, commercials, music videos and has written a couple of screenplays for films that he hopes to create in the near future.
