A little about myself...

From Treeplanting to Pixel Wrangling

My parents left communist Czechoslovakia for Canada, which is where my name comes from. I grew up near Nelson, BC, and knew from a young age that I wanted to make films.

That became real in my early twenties. I planted trees all over BC to pay for my first camera and computer, then spent years taking on odd jobs and building a business from scratch. Today I’ve completed hundreds of projects with millions of views.

How I work

Every client wants something different, whether it’s an authentic story or a product launch, but the approach is the same. I don’t just shoot pretty frames. I build a narrative, so your brand becomes the protagonist and your audience wants to keep watching.

Anyone can shoot decent video on a phone now, and that has raised the bar for everyone. Professional work still stands out, and a clear story is what makes the difference.

Why work with me

  • Lean budgets: No agency or production company overhead. If a project needs a bigger crew, I assemble freelancers for exactly what it requires.
  • Speed: No red tape. When you call, I answer, and your project keeps moving.
  • A real collaborator: Your vision shapes the project, and I listen.
  • Low travel costs: I’m based near an airport, just a couple of flights from almost anywhere, and I hold Slovak citizenship and an EU passport, so shooting in Europe is easy.
Pre-production

Getting on the same page and understanding your goals and making plans, organizing a team, scouting locations, writing scripts, pre-viz storyboard renderings and lighting plans.

Production

Nothing like being on location, setting up lighting, audio and camera equipment and calling “Action!”. This is where the data is harvested for future processing.

Post-production

Backing up data, editing content, finding music, adding sound effects, colour grading and vfx if needed! This is where the magic happens.

Videos that tell your story

Hundreds of completed projects completed to date including feature length documentaries, commercials, tourism campaigns and action sport films. Check out my CV for a complete list of work.
