About me
Hi, I’m Katarzyna.
I’m a film director, screenwriter and producer. I work on commercials, music videos and short films, and at the heart of everything I do are stories that evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on the audience.
I always approach my work with honesty and complete dedication. I am most fascinated by finding the right visual language – sometimes subtle and intimate, and sometimes bold and full of energy. I feel most satisfied when a film starts to live its own life and connects with the viewer.
I have had the pleasure of working with clients such as Orange, Enea, Bricomarche, Lidl, John Dog, European Space Agency and Stork Cargo Bikes, as well as independent creators and cultural institutions. One of my short documentary films “Cheesecake” is part of the permanent exhibition at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.
On set, I act as both director and creative partner, as I believe that collaboration, openness and the exchange of ideas lead to the best results.
