    Piotr Toczyński

    First and foremost I didn't go to film school. In fact, I have a master degree in Civil Engineering. I just figured out that movies are what I truly love. So I'm not in the film school now and I will never be. I hate academic life.

    However, I have worked as the video editor full time. Now I freelance. I've edited a number of commercials, youtube videos, short doc and assisted in short fiction.

    David Mamet once said, that there are only three ways to learn filmmaking.
    1. On the set
    2. In the cutting room
    3. In the theater watching the audience
    I decided to treat it as a guide in my filmmaking journey.

    I only added two ingredients that are stressed by Akira Kurosawa and Werner Herzog – reading and... living.
