Born in Sokolka, Poland, I grew up surrounded by nature. This region inspired me to tell stories through multiple means of expression: animation, illustration, and painting.

Graduated from La Cambre in Brussels, I directed three films during my studies: Slug and the snails (2012) co-directed with Gwendoline Gamboa, Grain d’amour (2013) and The Strawberry soup (2014). In 2015 I co-directed with Aline Quertain the short film The Teeny-weeny fox, produced by Folimage in France. My most recent work is the co-direction of the music video, The Skeleton Band, with Jessica Poon from Hong-Kong. The music is performed by Sara Lovell, an American artist known for her children’s songs. 

In the meantime I share my love for the creation with teenagers and children. I regularly supervise workshops in some centres and schools.

I live and work in Brussels.

Synopsis:

Agnieszka, a 9-year-old girl, travels alone on a bus to a distant country. Worried by this journey to the unknown, she writes a letter to her friend, but her pencil falls and gets lost on the bus. Forced to overcome her shyness, Agnieszka slips between the seats to look after the object, immersing herself into a fantastic universe, with strange passengers, half human half animals. Agnieszka discovers the vulnerability of lonely adults, leaving their daily lives and their families, but finally close to realize their dream of a new life… What if, in the end, that was what she was so afraid of?
