Prior to setting up OZOR, Mastnak was involved as director, writer and lead animator in the acclaimed animated series Bizgeci (The Beezes, 2002–2009), for which he won a number of domestic grants and international awards (Sichuan, Vilnius), and was nominated for a Crystal Bear for Best Short at the 2004 Berlin International Film Festival.
OZOR is best-known for Prince Ki-Ki-Do (2014–), an ongoing animated series conceived and directed by Mastnak, financed by the Slovenian Film Centre and produced in collaboration with RTV Slovenia. As at December 2020, 14 five-minute episodes had been produced. Work on this series was punctuated in 2017 with a short stand-alone film, Gospod Filodendron in jablana (Mr Philodendron and the Apple Tree), based on a story by Andrej Rozman Roza.
