MY LATEST EDITING SHOWREEL
I have worked as a video editor in London for over 10 years, and have worked on projects in English, French and Polish. I can offer extensive experience in Adobe Premiere, including social media versioning, colour correction, sound design, subtitling, lower-thirds and other basic graphics (Photoshop, After Effects). I'm a strong storyteller, accustomed to crafting short-form documentary projects involving interviews and archives for a variety of advertising campaigns.

I'm the writer-director of the short film "Border Crossing" (15 min, 2019). My script for this film won One Movie Project competition (Krakow, 2017) and was awarded a production budget with the support of the Polish Film Institute (PISF). The film competed at Oscar-qualifying festivals such as Leeds International Film Festival and Krakow Film Festival.
I have since completed a diploma in screenwriting at the Wajda School in Warsaw (Script), and participated in the Short Film Lab at the National Film and Television School.

I've been a keen photographer since teenage years, especially drawn to moody portraits and documenting the overlooked details of everyday life.
Here is a taste of my photography portfolio which I am currently developing.

J'ai obtenu un diplôme Master 2 en Métiers du film documentaire à l'Université d'Aix-Marseille, où je me suis spécialisé au montage, notamment à travers mon stage chez One Planet à Paris. J'ai également suivi un diplôme d'écriture de scénario à l'école de Wajda à Varsovie, ainsi que Short Film Lab du NFTS au Royaume-Uni
Je suis aussi la scénariste-réalisatrice du court métrage "Border Crossing" (15 min, 2019).
