In 2018: I drafted a short experimental story about the meat industry,

I have a new vision for this film: I may touch on the idea of what we all can do with technology and AI to continue leading our future into a positive direction; as I believe we are already heading, regarding coming together to do our part for the planet.

In 2018: I was the Director of Photography for, Alfredo,

a short film written and directed by an excellent colleague of mine, Ferdos Sililo-Simon. I was a part of her three person crew for this quaint production. I feel most immersed in reality while shooting video. The frames I captured emphasize the woman's body. The movie may very well tell a short tale about a woman and her peeping tom.

CHNGE: a SUSTAINABLE CLOTHING BRAND,

sparked a conversation that looked like a revolution. They merged the style of an old 90s film with a visionary message. I was there for them with a Sony FS5 4K and my quick eye to capture meaningful and candid moments.

In 2022: I advertised a 2021 Tesla Model 3.

I produced this video from start to finish in less than a day, recording with a Samsung Galaxy S21 on a DJI gimbal, I then edited and touched up on color with Premiere.

In 2019: I made, Minimalism,

which depicts a brief moment in time through unusual means, a 4k Go Pro + an AI. This is an exploration of a modern philosophy that I am inspired by and promote. I used a text-to-speech service to point out how much I have that I do not need, I also think about how sustainable the materials are that go into the things around us in our beautiful little lives.

In 2021: I made, Semilla Café,

I dedicated great time and care to editing a tight narrative about this café via the two interviews. I find great joy in fine details. I created the intro graphic directly within Premiere.

If I went back in time to re-edit the timeline, then I would have steadied out the rhythm of the visual narrative because I believe it may benefit from a slower pace.

I shot most of the video with an old DSLR. I may have also shown our interview subjects more often, especially if the production were better equipped.

In this promotional segment, we meet the co-owners Aimee and Elija, tour their store, and taste test the coffee.

In 2019: I made, NYC Music BINGO,

an upbeat video with flashy transitions, designed for a client who hosted dance parties containing prizes. I attended two of these events and brought along a colleague to assist in shooting. I applied most of the effects seen in this video and adjusted color throughout.

In 2019: I made, Fashion Model Joe Wolf,

with a Sony FS5 and monopod, I followed the male model through the streets of NYC. I solely shot, edited, and applied color correction plus visual effects to this piece.

5:47

In 2018: I made, ALLEY 906 BINGE,

This video exemplifies a band's style and an intricate composition. The shooting location was dark but I was able to correct that in Adobe Premiere Pro. The musicians have a connection to one another that I was able to pull together through the edit. I worked with the band and composer for a few hours at the Boston Conservatory in Massachusetts. I felt invigorated after the shoot as I hope you feel at the end of this video. If I could have done anything to improve this piece I would have used more of my master shot and recorded extreme close ups of the instruments to add excitement, an incredibly dynamic feeling, throughout the entire piece.

Renata P:
Filmmaker & Teacher

This website showcases my work as a videographer and editor. I designed & built this site with webflow.

I was adopted from Poland when I was 2. I connected with rescued animals and cared for my live-in aunt who had cerebral palsy.

I believe I was well-known at Wagner College as a filmmaker. Samsung awarded my novel mindset at the 2016 Creator’s Awards (where video producers across the nation took on the challenge of creating innovative Virtual Reality content). After studying film, I studied sustainability.

Since 2019, I have been filming & editing a climate documentary about ending the meat industry. I try to eat vegan.

Now, starting in 2023, I am focused on reading the Bible.

UPDATE: it is now 2024 and I landed an opportunity to assist teachers in the school district that I grew up in. So far, I am thrilled to have taken the first step to becoming a teacher, which has been a lifelong career goal.
