Vuk Dragojevic is a Serbian-Canadian artist, photographer, and filmmaker. He was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and now lives and works in Toronto.

As a documentary storyteller, his work is motivated by curiosity and observation. Two recent projects are Just Keep Swimming (in development) a short documentary following Jason Kloss as he attempts an unassisted 51km swim across Lake Ontario, and The Quarantine Hotline, a five-part audio series made up of anonymous voicemails collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. He has recently been featured in The Globe and Mail and on CBC Radio, and has shown work in Canada, Italy, England and France.

He has collaborated with VICELAND, Shopify, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Life, Etsy, University of Toronto and more.
