About me & my films & writing.
I’m an authore of children books (Mikolay & Julia Adventures), award winning filmmaker & Creative Business Consultant.
I’ve been making films and writing stories or making up stories for as long as I can remember.
I’m mostly interested in social issues (women & kids), human loneliness and fantasy.
I suppose that is why I make films about loneliness of human soul, which I would call dramas and write fantasy stories.
In 2004 I graduated from London College of Communication. In 2005 I set up a production company called Mayan Films to produce my own films.
In 2007 I set up a website www.bulletfilm.com for indie filmmakers to showcase their work & network.
I’m happily married to Marek and together we have a wonderful son Mikolay.
I hope you will enjoy my website and consider staying for longer.
Ps. Did I mention I was dyslexic?
