I am a freelance documentary filmmaker, originally from Slovakia whose work explores socio-political topics, focusing on ordinary people with extraordinary lives.
My feature-length observational documentary in development, Gypsy Gadji, is supported by the Polish Film Insitute and was developed as part of 6 months of mentorship labs, EsoDoc and DocLab Poland. Its pitch at Krakow Film Festival received the Dok Leipzig award.
My EBU/DW-produced TV documentary Across the Road - Worlds Apart (2019) was broadcast in 9 European countries (DW, ČT, HRT, NTR, RAI, RTBF, RTP, RTVE, RTVSLO) and has online views of 700K.
My crowdfunded and LUSH Film Fund supported feature doc POLYLAND (2018), screened at international film festivals and became part of Amnesty International's campaign against hate crimes in Poland.
I am a versatile filmmaker who quickly adjusts to new situations and connects to them on an emotional level. Since I've lived and worked in various countries (Slovakia, Germany, France, UK, Poland, India) and speak several languages, it helps me to relate to a variety of cultural contexts.
