Roman Szczeblewski

Poland in the 80’s was a country ruled by crisis and a sense of hopelessness. Only few knew how to turn crisis into a business. It was a golden time for them. How did they know what would bring them money? How did they operate in a country where almost everything was forbidden?

A savage parody of the Polish film industry, where a self-appointed director and his hapless sidekick, joined by a bumbling businessman, attempt to make a blockbuster without a script, driven only by egos and the promise of cash. Their shoot devolves into a farce of unpaid castings, half-naked auditions, and Tarantino-inspired delusions, ensuring disaster from the first clapperboard.

The adventures of self-proclaimed and overzealous director Mariusz and his two companions Gregory and Peter, who, after a failed attempt to make a film and escape from their creditors, nevertheless decide to finish the film and become giants of world cinema and shoebusiness sharks.

A self-directed fictionalized biopic of controversial Polish film director Patryk Vega.

Tired of just scraping by, an ambitious janitor scams and schemes his way to the good life in 1980s Poland amid changing regimes and personal chaos.
