biography

I am in my first year of media creation at CHC Zlín. I have been working in film since 2021, when I made my first film, Massive Robbery, with my classmates as part of the ZUŠ. I filmed a showreel for the organization Kapradí and I’m currently working on the documentary My Last Day at Montessori.
