I was born in 1950 in Poland. I graduated from The Main School of Trade in Warsaw with a master’s degree in 1975. In 1978, after completing my diploma course at The Łodz Film School, I obtained my first professional position assistant with Andrzej Wajda’s production team.
During the first few years I specialised in coproductions and providing services for foreign film companies (American, German, British, French etc)
In 1984, I joined Krzysztof Zanussi’s production team. Recently I worked with Mr Zanussi for several years as production assistant and as production manager.
In 1990 I established a private company in partnership with Mr Sławomir Idziak – one of Poland’s foremost Directors of Photography and who is also establishing a reputation as a Director. We have produced a Polish-German feature film entitled „ENAK”.
After that in 1992 I was involved as the production manager II in Steven Spielberg’s „Schindler’s list”. Then I’ve worked in my company MSFilms as the producer of many international coproductions:
- Polish-German film „Polski Crash” by Kaspar Heidelbach.
- Finnish-French-Polish film „Leningrad cowboys meet Moses” directed by Aki Kaurismaki. - Polish-Austrian „Ostwaerts” by Olivier Hirschbiegel.
- Polish-South Korean film „Taekwondo” directed by Moon Seung Wook.
- French-Polish film „L’homme des Foules” by John Lvov.
1998-2001 I took a position in Canal+ as the Film Production Adviser. I was involved in investing money in Polish filmproductions.
In 2002 I produced tv sitcom „King of suburbs” for Polish privat television TVN.
