    Episode #33 - Lubomir Arsov

    Lubomir Arsov is an artist and filmmaker based in Toronto, Canada. He's got an incredible graphic style; his art has an immediacy to it that communicates instantly. In this podcast we talked about many things from Lubomir's beginnings to his current projects and what inspires him today. Lubomir created "In Shadow" a short 13 minute film exploring the nature of reality and the society in which we live. The film challenged me on many levels and consequently I've been sharing it far and wide. It is one of the most POWERFUL pieces of art I've seen, period. In my opinion it speaks to the core of what's shaping our world today. Check out Lubomir on Instagram: @lubomirarsov "In Shadow" Website: https://www.inshadow.net
