Hello! My name is Bogusz Max Żelech. I am a director and visual storyteller working across animation, live-action film, illustration and design.
My main focus is creating author-driven films — from writing and visual development to storyboarding, animation and the final image. I am especially interested in 2D animation, expressive storytelling and projects with a strong visual identity.
I also collaborate with directors and production teams, supporting projects through illustration, storyboarding, concept art, production design, animation and graphic design. I enjoy working between different visual languages: developing my own style while adapting to the needs of a specific story, director or production.
In addition to visual arts, I am interested in music — I play guitar and bass, and I am currently learning piano.
