She has worked in many different genres but coming-of-age stories has a special place in her heart. She is especially skilled in character-driven drama comedy. The strong and complex characters is what defines her stories.
With deep respect for her audience – and the theme – Zupanc’s most profound inspiration is from topics as fertility, sexuality, gender identity, social injustice, mental illness.
