Originally hailing from Linköping, Sweden, and based in Stockholm since 2007, creative director Claudio Marino is becoming a definite protagonist among his peers. With a constantly growing list of clients – spanning a wide array within the “mainstream” as well as several sub-cultural phenomena, not to mention all of his corporate and commercial patrons – there is no doubt that Claudio Marino, most often operating under the moniker of Artax Film, has what it takes when it comes to making visual story-telling in the form of art and film. He has the exquisite knowledge of how to create tension-filled imagery, leading the way from darkness into light, from blur to sharpness, and from the unknown to the familiar. Claudio Marino is a sensible, sensitive, and sensational filmmaker, utterly respectful and observant to the client’s goals. No holds barred.

In the realm of contemporary music, Adam “Nergal” Darski surely needs no further introduction. Yet the guitarist and singer has even made inroads into general pop culture and shaped social discourse, all the while not moving away an iota from the underground ethos his ongoing career is based on. Rising from his humble beginnings in Cold-war Poland to global fame with his band Behemoth, striving for musical excellence throughout the ignominies of life-threatening illness and dubious legal battles, staying deeply spiritual and focused during even the most casual appearances in mundane limelight, it is safe to say the 1977-born has many faces, the sum of which defies categorization. Satanist or dexterous money spinner? Academically certified historian or shallow media figure? Inspired and inspiring spokesperson of a generation or mere agent provocateur? Make your guesses...
