: The company often collaborates with Serbian agencies to find specific talent, such as stunt performers from the SKA Team (Serbian Stuntman Agency) or specialized actors. Casting for Serbian Talent

Milan found himself learning lines after all—quiet ones, yes, but with an exactness that felt like threading a needle. He learned to say nothing and still mean everything.
