Hey Carla, will you post an update with the picture of us with the bulgarian animator ex-student who did a lecture two weeks ago? I’d love to show my parents.
Thanks!

By the way, directly after high school Lubomir Arsov did both the three year Classical and Computer Animation Program and the Advanced fourth year3D Computer Animation and Production Diploma at Max the Mutt.
He won a Teletoon scholarship for his 3rd year film, and was hired as a character designer weeks after graduation. I really enjoyed his presentation and his open and humble attitude. It was obvious that he’s remained open to learning from his experiences and from the senior people he’s working with. He was generous to have taken time out to speak with current students, especially since he had to go back to work that evening. It made me feel good about Max the Mutt graduates.
