Sara Simović, this year's scholarship recipient of the "Studenica" foundation, is a master's student at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. Simović graduated in acting in the Serbian language with the role of Helena in the play "Celebration" directed by Boris Liješević, she is also the recipient of numerous diplomas and awards that speak of her talent.

He adds that it is very difficult to get a role and prove yourself at the casting and later justify the trust. But that's exactly why she felt wonderful when she got the role, even though she knew it was a big responsibility and that it gave us relaxation. The role of Diana is her debut role by which the wider masses recognize her.
The talented Sarah explains that Diana is a character she could work well with. She tried to understand her and to relate what she had in her experience to her. Also, he states that there were a lot of exhausting and difficult scenes to film, emotional and strong that needed to be recorded and found the right measure for them, because Diana is still a mysterious character who talks little and hides a lot, basically we had to deal with that character. She believes that the role got its real shine only when she worked daily with the director and the other actresses.
Sara prepared for the role by reading the script over and over again, she was attracted by the fact that she keeps many secrets, both family and sect related. In order to better understand the role and theme of the "sect", Sarah read the books mentioned in the Aleister Crowley series. Given that she completely entered the character of Diana, she believes that the sect itself, that is, what it propagates, is not to blame for her alienation, but the person who was at the head of that sect. According to her, she was responsible for Diana and her behavior and the feelings she had for her, and because of which she, as the leader of the sect, blindly followed her.
During the filming, Simović worked with many celebrated actors of the Serbian acting scene, and she was aware that she could learn a lot from them, and she used it. She notes that they helped her a lot, but also believes that the combination of young and older generations of actors in this season was of great importance. He assesses that the young people gave a lot of energy, desire and enthusiasm, while the more experienced actors wisely and maturely directed things and were a great support for them.
She admits that during the filming, she often thought about how she could have done something differently and how it could have played out, but also that she has the right judgment and impression only now when she sees the whole story, packed into 12 episodes. She adds that she notices many flaws in her acting, but that does not stop her from believing that there is never an end to learning and learning. She emphasizes that there is no bad moment from the shoot.
The young, talented actress reveals that she is now recognized on the street. She states that the impressions of the viewers are great, and that she is glad that they are just like that.
Sara Simović concluded that we should stand behind everything we do in life and believe in it as much as possible, regardless of the fact that it might be the stupidest and most banal thing for other people, because otherwise nothing we do can turn out well.
