Elma Begovic is a Los Angeles based filmmaker and creative executive.
The amalgamation of my personal world and movies came around age 8, when I watched Bridges of Madison County for the first time. I was a refugee in east Berlin, calling a repurposed dorm room my temporary home, and Meryl and Clint were dubbed in German. At a turbulent time, enveloped in grief, movies offered me the ultimate escape - and in later years, inspiration to pursue a career in the industry.
I started SRP to weave underexplored themes into the industry’s tapestry, to grow my creative community, and to become a stronger storyteller. Building a story from inception to screening is an unmatched experience, like syzygy in space. I am reminded of that well misquoted line from Field of Dreams (another movie I first saw dubbed in Deutsch), “if you build it, they will come.”
This site hosts work I have written and produced - independently, with collaborators, and via grants.
