(For anyone wondering, it’s soo-hohm-skah!)
I’m a Polish-born documentary filmmaker based in Brighton, UK.
In my work, I like blending documentary realism with lyrical, poetic imagery. I’m drawn to telling intimate, personal stories that illuminate wider social truths. Themes of belonging, memory, taboo, and the ways women move through the world run through most of what I make.
MATKA / POLKA (2022), my short documentary exposing Poland’s hidden abortion stories, won Best Documentary at Women X Festival and screened at over 25 festivals internationally. Love Notes to Nature (2025), winner of Best Film at British Mountaneering Council’s Women in Adventure awards, explores how reclaiming connection to the natural world can be an act of healing and resistance. I’m currently developing Call Me If You’re Lost, a film about activism, displacement, and gender-based violence.
I hold a Master’s degree in Media Practice for Development and Social Change (University of Sussex), which shaped my approach to storytelling – I enjoy finding ways to translate complex ideas into something approachable, that makes people feel.
Alongside my own films, I work as a Shooting Assistant Producer across unscripted TV and documentary projects. For a full list of broadcast credits and CV, you can visit my Talent Manager profile here.
