Pedro Domingo has been working in the 3D world for over fifteen years. He started his career in the animated film Tadeo Jones, working for Lightbox Entertainment. He then worked on American blockbuster films, working for Nu Boyana Film Studios in Bulgaria. It was here that the seed for Nu Boyana Portugal was first planted. From there, several international experiences followed, in cinema, series and advertising, including work on The Jungle Book - a mega-production at MPC London, which won an Oscar for best visual effects. In animation, it is worth mentioning the successful children's series Cleo and Cuquin, by Anima Kitchen Studio. Throughout these years, Pedro remained in contact with Yariv Lerner, CEO of Nu Boyana Film Studios, and the idea of creating a team that would work remotely was discussed. He moved to Portugal and started the adventure of building this structure from scratch. And so Nu Boyana Portugal was born. Since 2018, Nu Boyana Portugal has more than 30 people working on different blockbusters, such as Rambo V - Last Blood, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Jolt, The Protégé, The Outpost, Hellboy, Angelhas Fallen, among other projects and a new animation brand: Lusco Fusco Animation.
