Bartosz Bretes
Biography
Producer and sustainable production manager. I previously worked in advertising and now focus on responsible and socially engaged filmmaking. I graduated from the Warsaw Film School, the Wajda School, the KIPA Film Production Accelerator, the TFL Green Film Lab in Budapest, and the Sustainability Management programme at the International Screen Institute in Vienna.
I am Vice-Chair of the KIPA Young Producers Section and a member of the Film for Climate initiative. I led a webinar as part of the “New AV Production” course organised by KIPA and Netflix, and I was a speaker at the conference “Sustainable Film Production as a New Standard” organised by the Łódź Film School.
I am currently developing my first projects under my production company beHonest and work as a production manager in collaboration with other producers - including the Lumisenta Film Foundation and Papaya Films. I value relationships, trust, and honesty in the creative process.
In my free time, I walk my dog in the forest.
