Life and career.
Vuk Lungulov-Klotz was born in 1994 in New York City to Maria Isabel Klotz, a Chilean painter, and Darko Lungulov, a Serbian filmmaker. The filmmaker grew up mainly in Chile, and spent a fair amount in New York and Serbia. At the age of 18, he returned to the United States from Chile to attend SUNY Purchase Film Conservatory, where he graduated in 2016. At the age of 23, he participated in the Screenwriter's Lab of the Sundance Institute.
His trans-themed short film "Still Liam", which features Liam, a trans man who works at a gas station before transitioning, was released in select United States theaters in May 2016. The film shows his experiences in everyday life from his point of view and in comparison to how the world sees him. In this student film, Liam is embodied by two different actors, a trans man and a cis man.
His feature film drama "Mutt", for which he developed the screenplay as part of the Sundance Institute Labs, premiered in January 2023 at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. In February 2023, the film was shown at the Berlin International Film Festival. In "Mutt", he tells the story of Feña, a young trans man, over the course of a single hectic day in New York City, when three people from his past come back into his life.
Lungulov-Klotz was selected to be one of 2023's twelve BAFTA Breakthrough USA participants.
