Kaloian “Kal” Dimitrov Tcherkezov was born In Varna, Bulgaria in the mid 80’s and moved to Canada at the young age of 4 and would live in just about every Province until settling in Ontario. Possibly as a result of repeat upheavals, Kal would turn to television as an escape. Marvelling at the fantastical locations and camaraderie, he would be inspired to take his first explorative attempts at Illustration.

Focusing on film making and storytelling as a whole rather than any single job application.
