Michał cut his teeth on shooting music videos, splitting his time between Warsaw and London. His variety of works comes from a multitude of life experiences and travels which allows him to create cinematic and emotionally engaging work. Contemporary, narrative-driven style, as well as sensitive cinematography, gives him the ability to create intimate worlds that are full of honesty with his characters.
In advertising, he has directed campaigns for some of the world's leading brands such as Pampers, Jacobs, Smyk, Tchibo, Citibank, L'Oreal, Samsung, Polpharma, Dr.Witt and Robert Lewandowski.
His debut film is a short documentary "7-my sierpnia", which tells the story of a few people, who were detained during the protest on August 7, 2020. The movie had its international premiere at the WATCH DOCS Film Festival - Human Rights in Film.
