DIRECTOR: IVO STAINOFF Growing up surrounded by gypsies in his native Bulgaria, Ivo has always been attracted to people whose spirit leads them to live a nomadic lifestyle. Alligator on the Zipper is his first credit as a director. He previously served as the cinematographer on the film Nomadic Museum and has extensive experience working as a photographer who specializes in alternative techniques. PRODUCER: JESSICA CHORNESKY Jessica's career has been highlighted by her commitment toward telling the stories of women whose voices are often unheard.
