He studied filmmaking at School of Visual Arts in Sydney, Australia. Then took up a course of screenwriting in Fox Studio under the guidance of Robert McKee, which changed his attitude towards story concept. He returned to Poland in 2004 where he gained recognition as a TV commercial and music video director.
His films Zamiana and W spirali were nominees to the "Golden Duck Award" (Polish: Złote Kaczki) at the Gdynia Film Festival, the latter also nominated for the "Golden Claw" category (Polish: Złoty Pazur).

Personal life
He is a big fan of Star Wars, LEGO and The Muppet Show.
His father was an alcoholic and he has spoken about his AAS syndrome resulting from that experience. The film Powrót Tamtych Dni is based on these events and was widely commented within his own family.
