While brainstorming about his final thesis project’s topic, Luka decided to join his two passions, film and psychology, and see what were some under-spoken or misrepresented issues in this link. The goal of his thesis feature article is to investigate the representation of mental illness in Hollywood films and its effect on the audiences from the CIS, the area of countries he was born and raised in.
