Biography
He used to draw comics with the local comic group called Smog.[1] Ležaić co-founded literary movement called Metasynchrism. He graduated at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade.[2]
He is mostly known for his first feature film Tilva Roš[3] produced by Film House Kiselo Dete. It is praised as arguably the most internationally acclaimed Serbian film of the last decade[4] and it earned him an EFA Discovery Award Nomination in 2011.[5]
Since 2009, he is the owner of the production company Smog Entertainment formed as a sister company of Film House Kiselo Dete. Smog is the result of Ležaić's wish to produce quirky moviegoer films that don't fit any profile.[6]
He worked as a producer on two projects, Neposlušni directed by Mina Đukić and Pogledaj me, Kusturice by Uroš Tomić.[7]
