Boris Mojsovski strives to create unique, appropriate and evocative beauty through his work. He is a filmmaker of multiple talents, equally interested in cinematography, writing and directing.
Boris was born in Sarajevo, survived the war, as a refuge studied film and came to Toronto where he continued his studies and worked as a fashion photographer. Upon completing his Masters in Production and Film Theory, Boris became the third-generation in his family to pursue a career in film.
His fascination with the cinematic language began in early childhood as a result of spending endless hours on film sets with his father Levko Mojsovski, a veteran cinematographer. Soon, Boris started working as a director and cinematographer on his own projects. Vilmos Zigmond and Laszlo Kovacs selected Boris as one of the top ten young cinematographers in the prestigious Budapest Masterclass. In the same year Boris also received the Kodak Award for New Filmmakers.
Boris made his feature directorial debut with Three And A Half, which he wrote and helped produce. It led a successful run at major film festivals and had a theatrical distribution in Canada, the US, Europe and Asia. While developing his own projects, Boris went on to shoot several independent films including The Day with his close friend Doug Aarniokoski, which was well received after its premiere at TIFF.
Boris was selected for the TIFF and Berlin Director’s Lab as he proceeded to make Neil, his second feature. The film repeated the festival success of Three and a Half and opened doors for the development of a TV series and another feature film. Boris wrote Scream Of A Butterfly, which won the Writer’s Guild award but took the back seat to the development of Much Good Pizza, a dream project Boris developed for television.
Parallel to his writing and directing, Boris continued to work as a cinematographer on multiple films and series.
He produced and shot the film Kidnap Capital with his long-time collaborator Felipe Rodriguez. Kidnap Capital had an exceptional festival run, won multiple awards, and Boris received a CSC nomination in 2016 for Best Cinematography in a Theatrical Feature for his work as well as a few cinematography awards at various festivals. After the festival run, Boris went back to cinematography and lensed 12 Monkeys alongside his mentor and dear friend David Greene ASC CSC. Boris won the ASC Award for the 12 Monkeys episode “Thief”
After Monkeys, Boris continued to work as a cinematographer on such shows as Taken (NBC), Between (Netflix), Knightfall (A+E, History) and Titans (Warner Brothers, DC) for which he also directed the episodes “Atonement”, “Lazarus” and “Souls”. On Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, Boris was the cinematographer and director - “Noögenesis” is the origin episode Boris directed.
