Also I am quite busy with advertising (looking for potential producers)\nfor my three (already written) full feature screenplays, and preparing to write\ndown two other stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those, already written, screenplays \u201cSUPERIOR BEING (PART 1 &amp;2)\u201d and \u201cCopland &#8211; in self defence\u201d have\nbeen selected to many film festivals, to screenplay competition, around the\nWorld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCopland &#8211; in self defence\u201d has won in: <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/tagore\">Tagore International Film Festival<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/ThinkingHatFictionChallenge\">Thinking Hat Fiction Challenge<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/GlobalIndiaFest\">Global India International Film Festival<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/INCAIMPERIALINTERNATIONALFILMFESTIVAL\">INCA IMPERIAL INTERNATIONAL FILM\nFESTIVAL<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/CalcuttaInternationalCultFilmFestival\">Calcutta International Cult Film\nFestival<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/VirginSpringCinefest\">Virgin Spring Cinefest<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSUPERIOR BEING (PART 1\n&amp;2)\u201d has won: <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/CIUDADDEMEXICOINTERNATIONALFILMFESTIVAL\">CIUDAD DE MEXICO <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/CIUDADDEMEXICOINTERNATIONALFILMFESTIVAL\">INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfreeway.com\/cultcriticmovieawards\">Cult Critic Movie Awards<\/a> , and Picasso Einstein Buddha International Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What make me very happy is all the selections\nand awards are from different Countries around the World (Russia, India,\nMexico, Peru, Indonesia, Chile etc.) that means the stories speak beyond just\none nation\/culture, they are more universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: What makes a film great for you? Are\nthere certain qualities that make a film better for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the stories told by the picture and\nsound, because it speaks deeper and more explicitly than dialogues. I am most\nattracted to the mysteriousness, grandeur and mystery of the universe and our\nplace in it. The contact of a real being with a mystical and spiritual one,\nreaction and transformation of a person during the experience of the sacred,\nand also myths, dreams, visualization of various behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many films that I am impressed with\nsome of them are: &#8220;The Thing&#8221;, &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221; and\n&#8220;Apocalipto&#8221; etc.&nbsp; I love the\nfilms which are timeless, with perfectly refined trinkets and an original\nstory. The films which transform you trigger thinking\/feeling, leave you\nchanged even long after viewing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: <\/strong><strong>As a screenwriter, what is the most\nimportant aspect of building a character?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The processes of my\nwriting are not so common but I am not the only one who does it this way. Stephen\nKing explain it better than I can in many of his interviews like this one: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gNvw0BcO_FM\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gNvw0BcO_FM<\/a>&nbsp;\nalso similar way speaks Guillermo Del Toro: \u201cI am not interested in a\nplot only in Who? What? And Where?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explain a bit\nbetter I will use short story which was given by Stephen King, describing the\nwriting process,&nbsp; in one of the\ninterviews: the process of writing starts with single thought\/image and I don&#8217;t\nknow where it will eventually lead me&#8230;it&#8217;s like a person going in the night,\ninto the forest; he sets up a small bonfire and sits still, waiting&#8230; after a\nwhile all the creature coming out of the forest attracted to the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I cannot say \u201cI\nbuild a character or events\u201d all those are reveals themselves to me when I am\nin the right state \u2013 readiness to listen. I know it might sound crazy but this\nis how it works&#8230;and I know I am not the only one working this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing\nthe script takes me little time, about a week of intensive work, but before\nthat I have the whole story in my head. Refining the details takes several\nmonths, during which I let stories unfold, show images, scenes, interactions\nbetween characters. When everything is crystallized thoroughly, I put\neverything on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I keep saying: \u201cI am\njust the first one who watched the story&#8230;then I write it down\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see\/watch the scene\nafter scene and sometimes I ask some question and I receive answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I start writing only\nonce I can see the whole story already in full grow in my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People\nsometimes ask me why I write a story (SUPERIOR BEING) happening in Poland in\nEnglish. The answer is simple &#8211; because it is an international language with a\nglobal reach. Of course, if we are not native speakers, we process it a bit\nthrough the prism of our own culture, customs and national history. And this is\nbeautiful, because in this way we transfer our personal legacy and experience\nto millions of people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each\nstory, in it&#8217;s origin\/roots\/source, is beyond a language, it&#8217;s universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: Top 3 favourite projects that you have been\ninvolved in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I have\nmade a few shorts and last film was 42 min thriller.&nbsp; I wrote three full feature screenplays. Each\nnew project is a good opportunity to polish up an artistic workshop. I learn\nfrom mistakes, I draw conclusions and gains experience. So I would rather thing\nabout future projects&#8230;the top three projects are always in front of me, not\nbehind me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: Do you\nexpress&nbsp;yourself&nbsp;creatively in any other ways?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have started to draw and to paint but still story telling\nvia film is the most important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: What advice would you give to someone\nwho wants to have a career in filmmaking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow other film-makers&#8217; advices given in so many\ninterviews. I have been doing this from the start. Make \u2013 Learn &#8211; Never give\nup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have found a lot of information, very useful\nto me, in interviews with recognized directors, cameramen and screenwriters, at\nthe You Tube and in the programs like &#8220;The Hollywood Reporter\nRoundtable&#8221; or &#8220;Directors Guild of America&#8221; and other..Film-makers\nshare the details of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NY Glam: What can we expect from you in 2020?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First I am going in January to the Jaipur\nInternational Film Festival in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three of my screenplays (\u201cSUPERIOR\nBEING (PART 1&amp;2) and Copland &#8211; in self defence) have been selected\nas well as the last film \u201dONCE UPON A TIME ON ALL HALLOWS&#8217; EVE\u201d, so opportunity\nto meet other film-makers and possibly to find somebody interested in filming\nmy stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also two other screenplays are about to be written down due\nto they are almost \u201cripe\u201d.
