ABOUT ME
Beardy-long haired guy with short legs ;) I live for filmmaking and making and listening to music.
PHILOSOPHY
"Nothing we do here is worse than working for burger king, so I will not complain"
Interests
For me life is made of two things, film and music, I couldn't live without them - mostly because film, and music are the things you cannot do alone.
Music is the universal language, I've once met a man, who has his translator from his dialect of egyptian to "standard" egyptian, then another translator translated from egyptian to german, and then another one from german to english so I could understand. Funny that "D-minor" is understandable among all the languages directly and we could play together without any difficulties. I'm fascinated in celtic culture, the music and dancing.
Filmmaking... that feeling when you enter the set and you meet people you have worked before, it's like going back to see your family. And those who are new? It takes 5 minutes, and they are members of the family. And after all you see things you've made with your tiny hands on the giant screen. That's something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I flew a helicopter with a pilot, who took 2nd place on the europe's championship in aerial acrobatics.
I played on one of the most prestigious stages in Poland, with Bokan Frankovic, who is a flute player in Goran Bregovic's orchestra. It was after the concert, and the auditorium was empty, but still i liked it.
Because of my job I have met a lot of "celebrities" and discovered, that most of them are nice, normal people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some photography and filmmaking, as well as playing flute and guitar basics. If there's more people I know a lot of folk group dances.
