Thumbs Up (known as ThumbZ UP) is a full service video production company and creative agency, specialized in making documentaries, short films, TV ads, sales and marketing videos, web designs, motion graphics, and 3-D animation. We’ve been doing it since 2009 when filmmakers Ismet Sijarina, Mirsad Lushtaku and Blerdi Malushi founded ThumbZ Up. Since 3 years, we’ve partnered with different companies, broadcast television networks and independent producers. We have an original and authorial approach in every project with the same goal: to make our work unforgettable and remarkable. And so far we’ve achieved this. Our quote is: Think Minimal. Thumbs Up staff is composed by some of the most well known young artists in Kosovo. They are in charge of creative part, and young people who come from American University mainly compose the management staff. The thing that makes Thumbs UP different is that we don’t hire creative people with monthly salary, but we engage freelancers with projects in order to get the best from them.

2009 Thumbs Up Creative Studio was officially established on July 1st by the filmmaker and producer Ismet SIJARINA.
