Nikola Janković
Skillful. Clumsy. Amusing. Boring. Reliable. Unreliable. Wordy. Sensible. Difficult. Persistent. Romantic. Prone to banal discussion endings. Inventive. Edgy. Skeptical. Pragmatic. No talent at gambling. No talent at football. Educated musician. Decent chess player. Independent. Changeable luck and hairstyle in life. Renaissance type. Filmmaker. Good sound designer. Appeared in a few short films and commercials. Produced sound for several feature films and many commercials. I make excellent pancakes. Muffins, too. When alone, I play the racket and slide on the hardwood floor like Angus Young. My name is Nikola Janković. I'm from Belgrade, Serbia. I finished my studies of sound design at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in my hometown. I work as a sound designer in a studio, doing my dream job.
