About Ivan
Widely recognized for his ability to unlock creative transformation in actors, Ivan Ožegović approaches coaching as both an artistic and deeply personal process. As the Head of Programme at Maison du Cinéma in Cannes—one of Europe’s leading creative and cinematic hubs—he brings a distinctly international, forward-thinking perspective to actor training, combining bold artistic exploration with precise, industry-grounded methodology.
A graduate of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, Ožegović has built his career across television, film, and theatre, developing a versatile body of work that reflects both technical discipline and creative range. He has appeared in acclaimed Croatian series such as Crno bijeli svijet and Počivali u miru, and collaborated with internationally renowned directors including Uli Edel and Academy Award–winner Danis Tanović. His theatre work has been presented at major festivals, while his role in leading Bok Fest has positioned him at the center of international cultural exchange, working alongside figures such as Asghar Farhadi and Rade Šerbedžija.
At the core of his coaching practice lies a specialization in actor transformation. Ožegović works with performers who feel confined by typecasting and are ready to expand beyond familiar roles—guiding them to discover new emotional registers, physical expressions, and artistic identities. His process is both rigorous and adaptive, designed to challenge limitations while respecting each actor’s unique voice.
His pedagogical approach has led numerous students to gain admission to some of the region’s most prestigious drama academies, supported by highly personalized coaching that evolves with each individual. Whether working with emerging actors preparing for entrance exams or experienced performers seeking a complete artistic shift, Ožegović creates a space where transformation is not only possible, but inevitable.
Through one-on-one sessions, he invites actors to break patterns, deepen their craft, and step into roles they never imagined they could embody—ultimately guiding them toward becoming the artists they truly aspire to be.

Are you ready to transform your acting skills and truly connect with your characters? Dive into a world where creativity meets precision, and discover the power of authentic performance.
My approach is a unique blend of Stanislavski, Chekhov, and Cicely Berry, with a focus on precise text analysis. I incorporate McKee’s storytelling principles to help you grasp not just your lines, but the entire scene's architecture and emotional depth. Acting is about change, not repetition. Together, we'll break habitual patterns and explore new choices, impulses, and authentic transformations.
Here's what you can expect from our lessons:
- Deep Text Work: Analyze objectives, actions, subtext, and beats, using McKee’s tools to uncover the story engine behind each scene.
- Creative Exploration: Experiment with multiple interpretations and embrace fearless creativity.
- Behavioral Shift: Train to think, respond, and behave as the character, not yourself.
With over 100 casting experiences, I know what directors and casting directors seek. I’ll guide you to stand out authentically and professionally. My teaching is strict yet constructive, aiming for real improvement and lasting artistic growth. If you don’t see results, you owe me nothing—because your progress is my priority.

I am writing to you as a film director and the president of the Art Factory Association (Udruga Tvornica umjetnosti), as well as the author of the short film Picnic, for which I received the European Film Academy Award for Best European Short Film — the so-called “European Oscar.” In addition, I directed the feature film Mater, which won the Oktavijan Award for Best Croatian Film and received recognition at international festivals such as Taormina, FEST, and others.
In this context, I would like to express my strong support for Ivan Ožegović and wholeheartedly recommend him for any future collaboration, especially in the fields of film education, creative teaching, and youth development.
I have been collaborating with Ivan for many years on various projects. Within the programme “Express Yourself Through Film” of the Art Factory Association—where I serve as president—Ivan led acting workshops for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this work, he proved to be an exceptional mentor: patient, empathetic, committed, and highly engaging. He succeeded in creating a safe and encouraging environment in which participants felt supported and motivated to explore their own creative expression.
I would also like to highlight Ivan’s role in organizing highly valuable workshops in Bjelovar with Academy Award–winning filmmakers Asghar Farhadi and Danis Tanović, which I personally attended. These events were of remarkable quality, comparable to major international programmes—professionally organized, content-rich, and extremely meaningful for participants. Ivan displayed impressive professionalism, responsibility, and the ability to coordinate complex projects.
We are also currently collaborating on the project “Maison du Cinema,” where Ivan serves as Programme Director. In this capacity, he has proven to be highly capable, reliable, and proactive.
Throughout all our collaborations, Ivan has demonstrated qualities essential for a great educator: he is organised, responsible, communicative, and creative. He understands not only the needs of a specific project but also the broader educational and artistic context. I particularly value his initiative and dedication—he consistently strives to elevate the quality of any programme he is involved in and to provide meaningful learning experiences for all participants.
For all these reasons, I recommend Ivan Ožegović with full confidence as an exceptionally capable, reliable, and professional teacher. I remain at your disposal for any further information.He is great! Really can teach you how to be truthful and honest in acting! Alao very funny and good guy! Love working with him!
