During the Film Spring Open Workshops in Kraków, the Sony Drama Series Group will be led by acclaimed and award-winning cinematographer Jakub Kijowski PSC.

At the beginning, participants will take part in cinematography exercises using Sony Venice and Sony Burano cameras, exploring their capabilities and learning how to consciously build visual storytelling.

In the following days, the group, in collaboration with Kasper Bajon’s Screenwriting Group, will shoot scenes for a series written by the participants. This process gradually develops a visual narrative – from words on paper, through the film set, to deliberate cinematographic choices. Under the guidance of Jakub Kijowski, participants will search for a visual style, work on scene dramaturgy, and learn how images enhance emotions and meaning in film.

Jakub Kijowski, under whose mentorship the participants will be working, is a cinematographer known for his deeply thoughtful approach to imagery, treating it not as an addition but as an integral part of film storytelling. For him, every project is a search for a unique visual form that enriches the story and deepens the characters’ emotions.

The Sony Drama Series Group at the Film Spring Open Workshops will allow participants to experience the entire process of creating a cinematic story – from script to finished scene.
