MESSAGE:
“I think I applied myself very successfully in the field of film sound since my graduation from FAMO in Písek. I worked my way up from a sound assistant to a sound master, founded the SLEEPWALKER sound studio, which provides sound services for domestic and foreign productions and is an important co-producer of European films. In 2020, my colleague Robert Slezák and I won the Latvian national award for the best film sound for the film “The Sign Painter / Pilsāta pi upis. The demanding work in the film industry still fulfills me, even though lately I’ve been working more on studio production than sound work itself. I enjoy being with film projects from the very beginning of the scripts and from the position of co-producer helping to bring new film stories to the world.

FAMO was important to me because it transformed a film fan into a creator. I have always enjoyed “consuming” stories, whether in literary or film form. Then suddenly I was able to stand on the other side of the camera and create the cinematic stories myself. Film and TV shoots have taken me to all the continents of the world and brought me many lifelong friends. Belonging to an imaginary filmmaking family that breaks down cultural and language barriers is an important life anchor for me.
