Piotr Buczkowski
Cinematic Director
Piotr Buczkowski

Piotr Buczkowski is a cinematic director with nearly two decades in the creative industry. His portfolio spans projects for over 60 brands: high-end graphics and brand systems for Sony, Volkswagen, Audi, Orlen, Orphica, Halier, Oh!Tomi and Lumie, alongside 3D animations, mobile games and realtime films. He is recognized as an expert in virtual characters and real-time technology.

He is CEO and founder of KARIANA, an AI companion for Unreal Engine, and co-founder of the studio TATO, which creates cinematic game trailers for publishers and developers worldwide. With his Realtime Squad he builds games, showrooms and educational events on the Fortnite platform. His work has been awarded in international competitions in design, cinematography and art.

He believes every frame deserves attention to detail, and that emotion is built in the small moments, not the big ones.
