We are thrilled to welcome Ivan Grbovic to the Solab family!
Ivan Grbovic is a Canadian director, screenwriter, and cinematographer who stands out for his ability to infuse epic imagery with touching humor.
After earning his master’s in cinematography from the American Film Institute, Ivan put his studies to work before focusing on directing. His directorial career picked up steam with several music videos for major artists, including James Blunt and Céline Dion. His first feature, Romeo Eleven (Roméo Onze) was decorated with the prestigious Écumen Prize at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. In the advertising space, Ivan has helmed large-scale campaigns for big-name clients, such as Air Transat, Bank of America, Canal+, Burger King, Danone, Dell, Harely-Davidson, Orange, Ubisoft, and Uniprix. In 2021, Ivan embarked on another feature project, Drunken Birds (Les Oiseaux Ivres), which ended up taking home awards in the Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay categories at the 2022 Quebec Cinema Awards. The film was also selected as the Canadian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards.
