2010 - Film - Drwal (Lumberjack) - Paweł Dębski - FUMI Studio Film opowiada historię drwala i jego małego synka. Żyją oni pomiędzy ogromnym lasem a majestatycznym klifem na dole, którego rozciąga się bezkresne morze. Otaczająca natura jest jedynym towarzyszem życia chłopca i mężczyzny. Wszystko toczyłoby się sielankowo syn i kochający ojciec, spokojne życie bez trosk i problemów, gdyby mężczyzna pewnego dnia nie wrócił do domu kompletnie zmieniony. Zaczyna odsuwać się od syna i być dla niego oschły. Dla małego chłopca nie pojęte są rzeczy, które dzieją się z jego ojcem. Brak kontaktu i zamkniecie się wobec syna doprowadza do tragicznych a wręcz przerażających w skutkach zdarzeń. Mężczyzna z zamiarem ochrony swojego dziecka przed czymś, z czym sam nie daje sobie rady, nieświadomie doprowadza życie nie tylko swoje, ale i chłopca do ruiny. W konsekwencji syn zostaje sam, bez pomocy i bez opieki.
Role in production: composer.

2011 - Film - Skeleton Girl - Leo Wieser - Bleeding Art Industries Inc. Skeleton Girl is a modern day parable with tongue firmly in cheek that updates the traditional cautionary tale - those stories told to children to make them behave. A little orphan girl named Millicent goes for a walk in the woods and happens upon an old cemetery, where she steals a valuable gem from a gravestone. That night during a spectacular thunderstorm, she hears the tapping of bony fingers, and soon a cacophony of noises and images of her deceased mother plays out on the walls of her room. As a skeleton pays Millicent a visit to take back what is rightfully hers, the girl soon discovers why it isn't wise to steal from the dead.
A stylistic blend of 3D stop-motion animation and traditional special effects are being used to bring this tale to the screen. Told with shades of Grimm's dark and satiric original fairy tales, Skeleton Girl takes us on a journey through a land of make-believe and one small girl's overactive imagination.
