I direct and write films — short narratives, music videos, and documentaries — with a focus on emotional clarity, atmosphere, and cinematic expression.
My process blends visual storytelling, script development, world-building, and close collaboration with performers, DoPs, and editors.
Each project is built as a sensory narrative, shaped by passion for beauty and merit.
I work at the intersection of illustration and artificial intelligence, creating short films based on my original artwork. The animation on the AI platform progresses rapidly but I hope art makes the films timeless. Some of my latest projects: Film for ANS A series of illustrations created for the Academy […]

Apples. A fruit we all know but rarely think about. And yet, we should. We did – and now we can’t stop talking about it. Prisoners of Apples is a documentary that unveils how apples have been outsmarting humans for centuries. They started with Eve and ended up with global domination.
The journey to create Prisoners of Apples was anything but easy. Years of effort, countless script rewrites, shifting collaborators, and the ever-present challenge of securing funding made every step a test of perseverance. Yet, these very obstacles became the driving force behind a film that celebrates creativity and determination. In an era where AI tools could have eased the process, this project stands as a testament to human ingenuity and passion—every frame a labor of love and innovation.

As a Creative Director, I’ve always believed that a powerful story can bridge time and emotion. When the idea for this project began to take shape, I knew it had to be something extraordinary. We chose Maanam’s timeless “Kocham cię, kochanie moje” (“I Love You, My Love”) for its haunting beauty, deep emotion, and cultural resonance. Collaborating with The Dumplings to create a new, Slavic-inspired version was a creative journey I’ll never forget.

Interest rates. Two words that often make people frown or reach for their calculators. But what if they could make you smile? That was the question we aimed to answer with two quirky, animated commercials for Bank BPH. And the result? Even kids started asking their parents about interest rates—because they wanted their own cuddly, furry creatures. Strange? Maybe. But undeniably effective.

There’s something undeniably fun about turning the mundane into the memorable. And let’s face it—insurance doesn’t exactly scream “entertainment.” So, when AXA challenged us to create a campaign that would grab attention and spark conversations, we decided to throw subtlety out the window and embrace absurdity. Enter: the murderous plum.
Yes, a plum. Not a hurricane, not a freak accident, but a humble, juicy fruit that has been wreaking havoc on one family’s lineage for generations. The result? A darkly comedic tale that takes viewers on a time-traveling journey through history, showing ancestor after ancestor meeting their sticky (and slightly ridiculous) fate.

There are songs that transcend time. “Seksapil” is one of them. Written in 1937 by the brilliant duo Henryk Wars and Emanuel Szlechter for the Polish comedy “Piętro wyżej” (“One Floor Up”), it has remained a symbol of charm, humor, and elegance. Originally performed by Eugeniusz Bodo in the role of Mae West, the song became an instant classic. Its playful melody and witty lyrics captured the energy and confidence of the late 1930s.
The original performance was both daring and humorous, with Bodo donning a Mae West-inspired costume and delivering a cheeky ode to “sex appeal.” The song, with its jazzy rhythm, became an anthem for a generation embracing modernity and confidence. It also showcased the creative brilliance of Henryk Wars, one of Poland’s most prolific composers, and Emanuel Szlechter, a lyricist with a knack for clever, catchy phrasing.
