Julian Biba
Julian Biba was born in Albania and presently resides in the USA. He is a writer, director, and film producer.
At the age of fourteen, Mr. Biba entered the Skanderbeg Military School in Albania. Skanderbeg was notorious for preparing new cadets under extremely harsh conditions. Using advanced government-endorsed brainwashing techniques, instructors at Skanderbeg forged many generations of cadets. Most of these cadets were prepared for the military academy and some would go on to serve the communist regime at every level. Mr. Biba’s firsthand experiences in military school, and beyond, have inspired him to write Safe Ground. In more recent years, Mr. Biba discovered his deep and hidden passion for the arts, especially film. His passion has driven him to immediate success, writing several award-winning and critically acclaimed screenplays which are born from his individual experiences of a life full of eccentric adventures. Julian is also a successful writer, producer, and director of several short films, including a highly acclaimed documentary he was hired to direct and for which he received notable accolades throughout several US and international film festivals. Julian’s recurring themes typically depict the trials and tribulations of society’s downtrodden; they tag us along the journey as the human spirit lifts them to victory. He surprises the audience with his simple approach of immersing the reader in a fictional world of imagery. Julian’s writing style is mostly visual, often raw, sometimes humorous, and always gripping. |
Safe Ground
Leap of Faith
Patient in Room 203 by Elona Paja (Translated and Edited by Julian Biba)
Drama
In her novel, The Patient In Room 203, the author takes us through a psychological thriller and into the mind of an obtuse resident of the psychiatric hospital. The story is full of twists and turns, not much unlike the reality of many suffering patients that find themselves in similar long white hallways and cushioned walls in rooms much like that of 203. |
