Why?

Why VFX Sverige? I've always been interested in vfx and especially 3D. I felt that there was no place where all the projects produced or projects that have some connection to Sweden was collected. The idea is that you will submit new links to your new projects to me, and I will upload it on the blog. So tip me so I can keep VFX Sverige updated with the latest VFX projects.
