SERVICES

I provide commercial film directing, script consulting, and narrative supervision services.

With 15+ years in cinema, brand communications, and visual arts — along with over 30 international awards and collaboration with top industry experts — I have developed a distinctive approach to advertising, where:

  • Cinematic techniques and aesthetics enhance visual storytelling, delivering a striking, filmic look. I worked under the tutelage of Academy Award-winning director Andrzej Wajda and was mentored by Oscar nominee DoP Sławomir Idziak.
  • Acting expertise fosters authentic and compelling on-screen performances. I earned my diploma under the mentorship of one of the world’s leading Meisner Technique experts, Sylvia Kaczmarek.
  • Commercially driven storytelling allows audiences to identify with the protagonist while positioning the brand as their trusted ally. I am the author of the masterclass “The Power of Storytelling in Video Advertising,” which I teach to professionals in both academic and commercial sectors.

My internationally awarded film Wonderwall redefined the narrative of Chornobyl, proving that emotionally driven storytelling has the power to shift perceptions and shape new beliefs.

I collaborate with agencies, production houses, and brands.

Looking to create advertising that captivates, builds trust, and drives action?

Let’s work together to create impactful media and amplify your brand’s presence!
