I'm a graduate of the film directing on the so-called Krzysztof Kieslowski Film School on Silesian University in Katowice, Poland. I've participated in the Breaking Shorts Campus 2009 NL and in the Screenwriting Lab 2009 PL as well as in FSO 2011 and 2012.

I've made plenty of student shorts, most of which I also wrote, and won some awards for them.

Right now I'm preparing my 30-minute movie entitled "128th Rat".
