Directing makes my heart beat faster.”

Marek has always balanced a dual passion: one foot firmly rooted in the world of filmmaking, and the other in the heart of the advertising industry. For over 12 years, he has led production studios for some of Poland’s largest advertising agencies, collaborating with an impressive array of global and national brands, including Polpharma, Decathlon, Carrefour, H&M, MTV, Coca-Cola, Desperados, IKEA, PZU, PGE, Stock, Burger King, Nationale-Nederlanden, Leroy Merlin, Nokia, Volvo, Otomoto, and Bakalland.

His work has been recognized with prestigious awards, such as KTR, LONDON AWARD, and BLADES. Having honed his skills as a film director, creative director, and head of production — often juggling all three roles simultaneously — Marek eventually chose to devote himself entirely to film direction. His signature style revolves around crafting uplifting, humorous narratives brought to life with a meticulous focus on post-production and visual artistry.

Marek’s most inspired moments often emerge in that liminal state between waking and dreaming, where reality seamlessly merges with imagination. It’s no wonder his work is infused with such a distinctive and magical creative touch.
