BIOGRAPHY

My journey started on the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava where I studied Animation. During my studies I made three short animated movies which were presented at several international film festivals including IFF Annecy (Family – Basis of Life, 2013) or Animafest Zagreb (White Forest, 2014 and Mila Fog, 2015). I was a member of student jury at IFF San Sebastian (Spain, 2015). I took part in the exhibition at IFF Tricky Women (Vienna, 2015) and in Gallery Solyanka VPP (Video/Performance/Animation) in Moscow at the exhibition of world young talents. After finishing University I started to working on a short animated film Wild Beasts with slovak scriptwriter and director Michal Blaško. During production was presented as a part of Berlinale (Short Film Station, Berlin, 2017) and MFF Anifilm (Visegrad Animation Forum, Třeboň, 2017). During these days I am working on a new animated short film Everything we missed as director and Art director which is currently in production.

FILMOGRAPHY

Everything we missed I 2023 I For some a whole eternity, for him the best year of his life. She is a woman, he is a dog. The pandemic has finally made them spend time together. She is too busy, while he needs more of her attention. She is a young woman, he is her dog. When the pandemic traps them in a small flat, it’s the best time of his life. The flat becomes a capsule flying through empty and cold space. They land on an empty planet reserved just for the two of them. Trees, forests and miniature and giant animals populate their fantasy world. It is the time when they can do everything they missed before. Will it stay that way when they return to Earth?
