Witold Beres

Reporter, columnist for “Gazeta Wyborcza,” film and television producer, screenwriter. Author or co-author of several books. He and Artur Wiecek manage Beres & “Baron” Media Productions. He likes to keep saying that above all, he has had good luck with people.

Witold Beres in “Kino”: We laugh about being compared to the Coen brothers: one of us has an idea and we write the screenplay together. Baron directs, because he’s great at it, while it bores me; I produce because he can’t stand to, while it gives me a rush of adrenaline. We always wanted to make a real film from beginning to end. Of course artistic, yet warm cinema. Not about gray and ravished Poland, but just  to make people laugh, so that tears well up in their eyes, about love, friendship, things more important than being hit by a baseball bat.
