Zvonimir Maycug

 

Zvonimir Maycug (1959) is a professional waiter who unsuccessfully tried to
enroll into the Academy of Drama Arts in Zagreb many times. However, this
did not prevent him from realizing his directing ambitions. As a film author
(producer, screenwriter and actor), he first gathered financial resources and a
group of his friends, film amateurs all, and then started making movies. In the
end of 1982, he made his film Ja sam tvoj bog, which was never released
for distribution. During 1984, he made the pornographic film Oaza, for
which he was sentenced to three months in prison and one month on parole. In
1988, he made the new, minimally changed version of Oaze, which achieved
good results in the video pirate market. In 1997, he made Kalvarija.
