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.
