Miro Remo (b. 1983, Ladce, Czechoslovakia) grew up in the industrial town of Ladce in northwestern Slovakia, and graduated from secondary school in nearby Považská Bystrica. He abandoned his studies of mechatronics at Trenčín University immediately after being accepted to the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, where he went on to study documentary directing under Vladimír Balco, and today he works in his studio. His greatest success to date is his original short cinematic portrait of his uncle and grandmother, Arsy-Versy (2003), which earned several dozen festival awards around the world. His other films also reveal his endeavor to work with the cinematic image in a new and exciting way.
