Life

While on vacation in the Balkans in 2010, Donoughue spent five weeks in Kosovo instead of the planned three days in the wake of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption . During this time he learned a lot about the culture and history of the area and got into conversation with local residents. This inspired him to make his first short film Shok . Set in Kosovo in 1998, the film is based on real experiences of his friend Eshref Durmishi , who played the role of a soldier in the film. Shok was nominated for an Oscar in the category Best Short Film in 2016 .
