She has directed and produced three award-winning short films.

Her debut feature film, currently in pre-production, "Mirror of Nightingales," is supported by Creative Europe’s MEDIA Sub-programme (Co-development), the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, and the City of Koprivnica. It was selected and developed by the Jerusalem Sam Spiegel Film Lab 2024, Script Pool Tallinn 2023, Ekran+ (Wajda School, Warsaw, 2022), the Mediterranean Film Institute (MFI, Greece, 2020), and the European Genre Forum 2019 in Tallinn.

Karla is currently developing two series: the teen mystery "Chasing the Clouds" and the dark comedy "Dear Insects and Other Creepy Stories." Both projects have received development funding from the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (HAVC) and from the City of Koprivnica, the regional fund.

"Dear Insects and Other Creepy Stories" was developed within the prestigious TorinoFilmLab SeriesLab, where it won the IEFTA Award for Emerging Talents. This award was open to all TorinoFilmLab programmes, with 41 international projects competing across SeriesLab, ScriptLab, FeatureLab, and ComedyLab.

Karla is also working on a remake of the feature film "She-Butterfly" ("Leptirica"), the first Yugoslav horror film, which holds cult status in the region and beyond.
