Mateusz finds his inspiration in true stories and biographies. No matter whether it’s a feature or 30” commercial. And his array of talents and experience is as rich as the life itself.
He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts and Andrzej Wajda Film School. Director and producer of several awarded short films, including “StreetLight Man” with Marek Kondrat and “Romantik” with Robert Więckiewicz. His films have been shown among others at Tribeca, Palm Springs, Toronto (TIFF) and Warsaw Film Festival. He made storyboards for movies directed by Agnieszka Holland, Kasia Adamik, Juliusz Machulski, Władysław Pasikowski and for over 750 commercials. Mateusz has also made himself award-winning director of commercials and music videos for Pezet, Ania Dąbrowska and Afromental.
Mateusz film debut in 2021 was “The Getaway King” (“Najmro” – is a Polish title) an action crime comedy set in the last days of communism in Poland and tells the story inspired by the life of Zdzisław Najmrodzki (starring Dawid Ogrodnik), who escaped cops 29 times, and became a record holder on that field.
Currently, Mateusz is working on his second feature film “Mothers Days” starring Agnieszka Grochowska.
We can’t wait to see how this time Mateusz is going to surprise us with real life stories.
