Boris Jurjaševič (1955) is a well-established author of feature and documentary films for cinema as well as TV. As a co-director, he's given himself lately to the TV series Cases of Inspector Vrenko, a top-rated Slovenian national TV drama with its second season starting in January 2023.

“Elvis Starling is a coming-of-age story exploring relationships with peers and parents, first love and friendship. It is a youth film about a very likable protagonist who is searching for his place both within his family and among his peers.”
