Why this matters to me

My grandfather George passed away when I was 16 – at that time, I didn't yet have the ability to create films. His stories gradually became distant, blurred memories.

With my grandmother Margaret, who passed away in February 2025 – it was different. While visiting her in Los Angeles, I couldn't preserve her story the way I wanted – she was no longer in full strength, our conversations had to be frequently interrupted.

Still, her words recorded on film will remain with our family forever.

From need, a project was born

These experiences made me realize how precious family stories are and how important it is to preserve them in the highest quality while our loved ones are still in their prime.

That's why I created Cinematic Autobiography – through which I want to help others do what I couldn't: preserve family memories in a form that will last generations.

It's a gift I couldn't give myself, but I can make it a reality for you and your family.

Dlaczego to dla mnie ważne

Mój dziadek Jerzy odszedł, gdy miałem 16 lat
– wtedy nie miałem jeszcze możliwości tworzenia filmów.
Jego opowieści z czasem stały się odległym, rozmytym wspomnieniem.

Z babcią Małgorzatą, która zmarła w lutym 2025 roku – było inaczej. Przebywając u niej w Los Angeles, nie mogłem zachować jej historii tak, jak bym chciał – brakowało mi odpowiedniego oświetlenia.
Mimo to, jej słowa już na zawsze pozostaną z naszą rodziną.

Z potrzeby narodził się projekt

Te doświadczenia uświadomiły mi, jak cenne są rodzinne opowieści i jak ważne jest, by zachować je w najlepszej jakości, kiedy nasi bliscy są jeszcze w pełni sił.

Dlatego stworzyłem Pamiętnik Filmowy — poprzez który pragnę pomóc innym zrobić to, czego sam nie mogłem: zachować rodzinne wspomnienia w formie, która przetrwa pokolenia.

To dar, którego nie mogłem dać sobie, ale mogę sprawić, by stał się rzeczywistością dla Ciebie.

Doświadczenie i wizja

Jestem producentem pełnometrażowych filmów dokumentalnych, które opowiadają historie niezwykłych ludzi.

Portretowałem mocno doświadczonych życiem bohaterów - wychowanków zakładów poprawczych, gwiazdy muzyczne występujące na największych scenach a nawet chłopaka z Madagaskaru, który po spaleniu jego wioski w wieku 15 lat szedł boso przez trzy dni, aby dotrzeć do szkoły i zdobyć edukację.

Każdy z tych bohaterów inspirował na swój własny, wyjątkowy sposób. Ich historie, które miałem przywilej pokazać na ekranach kin, poruszały do łez tysiące widzów. To właśnie te głębokie, autentyczne opowieści o ludzkim duchu i determinacji stanowią serce mojej twórczości dokumentalnej.

Wiem, że historii wartych zachowania jest znacznie więcej. Żałuję każdej nieodkrytej opowieści, która wraz z czasem i śmiercią odchodzi w niepamięć. Wierzę, że za pomocą Pamiętnika Filmowego, uda mi się zachować ich jak najwięcej.

Experience and vision

I'm a producer of feature-length documentary films that tell the stories of extraordinary people.

I've portrayed deeply life-experienced subjects — graduates of juvenile detention centers, music stars performing on the biggest stages, and even a boy from Madagascar who, after his village was burned when he was 15, walked barefoot for three days to reach school and get an education.
Each of these protagonists inspired in their own unique way. Their stories, which I had the privilege of showing on cinema screens, moved thousands of viewers to tears. These deep, authentic stories about the human spirit and determination are at the heart of my documentary work.

I know there are far more stories worth preserving. I regret every undiscovered story that fades into oblivion with time and death.

I believe that through Cinematic Autobiography, I can preserve as many as possible.

A list of photos and family materials you'd like to include would be helpful. We'll help you collect and organize them — the entire process is guided with our full support.
How long does the interview recording take?
