Have you ever wondered how someone "makes it" in Hollywood? Michal Gruszczynski, a Polish cinematographer puts his life on hold in Poland and starts from scratch in Los Angeles. With no job, no wheels and no place to live, Michal gives himself 15 days to find a car, an apartment and a film project. After 6 months in America and a handful of new credits he heads back to Poland with new representation, at a new level in his career and with a deeper emotional understanding of his professional self.
Coop and Myan get really lucky snagging Michal 16 hours before his flight back to Warsaw, Poland. Getting someone with a perspective from behind the camera is a great change of pace. A hands-on reminder of all the different artistic departments that make a project possible. Michal had previously been traveling the world, Guatemala, Indonesia, Bankok, working on various projects, from a reality show featuring Polish fighter Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the former UFC women's strawweight champion, to a simple self-tape for his friend, Rafal Zawierucha, a Polish actor who landed a role in Quentin Tarantino's newest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Receiving support from the Polish Film Institute, collaborating with the American Society of Cinematographers and even shooting a music video with Unofficial's very own Coop and Myan, its clear Michal Gruszczynski is a talented, consummate addition to any production in which he gets involved. We really can't wait to see what's next for Poland's newest DP Wonderboy.
