One of the towering figures of Polish documentary cinema, with 22 films over five decades. Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Short (89mm from Europe, 1993). European Film Award winner for Poste Restante (2009). FIPRESCI Prize and Dragon of Dragons lifetime achievement at Kraków Film Festival. Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1995. A member of Andrzej Wajda's legendary Unit X, fired from the Documentary Film Studio in 1980 after two films were banned by censorship. His later Father and Son on a Journey (2013), made with his son Paweł, won the Golden Horn for Best Director at Kraków. A personal mentor whose approach to observational cinema shaped how I think about directing non-fiction.

Over 100 documentary and dozens of feature film credits since 1971. BAFTA winner for The Betrayed (1995). Cinematographer on Kieślowski's Talking Heads, Curriculum Vitae, Camera Buff, No End, and Hospital. Shot Agnieszka Holland's Europa Europa (1990) and Provincial Actors (1979). Dragon of Dragons lifetime achievement at Kraków Film Festival. Łódź Film School graduate who joined the Warsaw Documentary Films Studio at 23 and played a central role in Poland's underground resistance filmmaking movement. His work taught me that the camera is not a witness — it's a participant.

Silver Lions at Gdynia for Before Twilight (2008) — retired actors reuniting to stage Faust. Polish Film Award (Orzeł) for Best Documentary (Virtual War, 2013).

Łódź Film School graduate, lecturer at Camerimage, Wajda Master School, and film schools in Berlin and Hanover. Earned habilitation at Łódź Film School in 2020. His documentary practice — empathetic, patient, structurally rigorous — set the standard I measure my own work against.

Two-time Golden Lions at Gdynia for editing — Shelter (1998) and Jerzy Hoffman's With Fire and Sword (1999), one of the highest-grossing Polish films ever made. 38 editing credits spanning three decades of Polish cinema's most ambitious productions, including Jakimowski's Imagine (2012), Kidawa-Błoński's Little Rose (2010), and Skolimowski's Four Nights with Anna (2008). Gloria Artis Medal for Merit to Culture (2016). Founder of Blue Dream Film studio and lecturer at Kraków Film School AMA. His sense of rhythm and structural clarity in the cutting room shaped my understanding of editing as direction after the fact.

Creator and CEO of Popcorn.co, the Agentic-Moviemaking platform. Serial entrepreneur passionate about enabling creative expression through technology. Founded YouNow, the live streaming platform with over 100 million users (#1 App Store, Social category). Co-founded KSolo, the world's first online karaoke service (acquired by Fox/MySpace). Created 30+ consumer media apps including Elf Yourself and the official online Matrix game for Warner Brothers. His vision for AI-powered creative tools — and his trust in bringing me on as creative consultant to the board — directly shaped the production philosophy behind iPro.One.

VES Award-winning VFX supervisor with over 25 years at Industrial Light & Magic. Former Creative Director of ILM Singapore, overseeing both VFX and Immersive Entertainment. Career credits include the billion-dollar-grossing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Rings of Power, Pacific Rim: Uprising, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Amazing Spider-Man. Played a key role in establishing ILM's Singapore and Sydney studios. His perspective on how VFX serves story — not the other way around — is a framework I carry into every AI-enhanced pipeline I build.

Film programmer, critic, and author with decades across Europe's most important festivals. Ten years as programmer at Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. Co-artistic director of Biografilm Festival in Bologna since 2022. Programming and advisory roles at Venice, Locarno, Rotterdam, and IDFA. Former member of the Venice Film Festival press department.

69 art department credits across Hollywood spanning over two decades. Storyboard artist on Furious 7, Black Adam, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, San Andreas, and A Wrinkle in Time. Visual consultant on Aquaman. Additional credits across TMNT, Power Rangers, Jungle Cruise, and multiple Marvel and DC franchise entries. Upcoming projects include Moana (2026) and Voltron. His ability to translate a director's vision into pre-production visual language — shot by shot, beat by beat — is the discipline that makes complex productions possible before a single frame is shot.
