Igor Stefanovic is a visual artist and storyteller, originally from Belgrade, Serbia. He moved to the U.S. in 2009 to join DreamWorks Animation, where he worked as a Character Technical Director on the Kung Fu Panda and Shrek franchises, specializing in the expression and anatomy of digital characters.
His artistic journey expanded into painting and sculpture, with exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe. His large-scale painting The Debate of Seven Brothers merged visual art with narrative, inspiring a broader cinematic concept. That vision evolved into a screenplay, which earned top honors at over a dozen international film festivals and ultimately led him to write The Seven.
Igor’s work is driven by a deep passion for world cultures and a fascination with how life’s challenges shape us: core themes that resonate throughout his storytelling.
