Branko Kosteski and Ana Jakimska, co-founders of Suteren
We met at film school, where the question was never what to film but why — what makes a story move, what makes an image stay. That instinct has shaped everything Suteren has made since.
A spontaneous freelance project while we were still students brought us together on real work for the first time. Word of mouth spread, and the work kept coming. By 2018, Suteren was official, and over the following years we grew into a trusted production partner for Macedonia's leading agencies and brands, all while continuing to make our own films on the side.
Along the way, we noticed a pattern. Good production could only take a client so far. The conversations we kept having pointed to the same gap: our clients needed a partner who could plan with them before the camera was ever switched on.
That's why in 2024 we reshaped Suteren into a full-service video agency. Ana had just returned to Skopje from London, where she completed an MFA in Directing Fiction at Goldsmiths, University of London. Branko had spent the year deepening his practice in post-production, with a focus on colour grading. Both paths, client work and personal filmmaking, had been growing in parallel for years. Today, that combination is the agency: full-service, run by filmmakers.
