I have been nominated for the same award in the UK. Several Cannes lions and Grammy awards is what the films been rewarded with as I have been lucky to work on the highest level with the best people the industry have to offer. Mr. Ljubez is part of this league.

    I am familiar with Mr. Ljubez's work as I have worked with him on several visually advanced projects. He has always played a key role in the creation and realization of my visions. Marko Ljubez is the person who always takes the project a step further just as I thought that the limits where reached. Mr. Ljubez is known for his groundbreaking visual effects artistry, particularly with regards to 2D and 3D graphics. He is considered an expert with a record of commercially successful and widely recognized entertainment projects.

    Mr. Ljubez was instrumental to the success of my latest short film “Herr Rodebjer” which won the ASVOFF Award in Paris, France, the premier film and fashion festival in Europe. The film was in competition with some of the best directors in the world so it was a big honor for me to win this award. Mr. Ljubez's work on “Herr Rodebjer” played a key role in its critical acclaim since this film was very much about the visual outcome. I was in a big need of a true artist and a professional. Mr. Ljubez was my number one choice, as always. Mr. Ljubez is highly sought after in his field and I am excited to work with him on future projects as he is setting the standards for our industry.
