VIDEO & POST

Name: Poslední návrat (2026)
My roles: Director, Camera, Editing, Postproduction, Color Grading
About: My latest and most major project to date. The year is 1945. As retreating German forces ruthlessly burn everything in their path, Jan, a Czech forced into the Wehrmacht, learns of an impending massacre from a prisoner named Sasha. Determined to save his family, Jan decides to desert. The film follows their dangerous journey from the Balkan battlefields through the mountains back home. It is a story centered on Jan’s hands—once gifted for drawing, but forced by fate to kill.

Showreel & Overview

Type: Complete Video Portfolio
About: This showreel is a comprehensive compilation of my entire body of work, reflecting my deep and consistent dedication to filmmaking and video production. Visual storytelling is a huge part of my daily life. Alongside my independent film projects, I also regularly create tailored short-form content and reels for a variety of clients. Currently, I am pushing my craft to the next level as I begin my university studies in Film Editing at Tomas Bata University in Zlín, focusing on mastering post-production and high-end cinematic workflows.

For me, editing is where a story truly comes to life—it completely saved my graduation military film in post-production. Audiovision is what drives me the most because combining powerful visuals with sound is the ultimate way to evoke deep emotions. My creative workflow centers around DaVinci Resolve, backed by experience in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
