Marcin Walczak COMPANY NAME Smart Film Production COURSE BA (Hons) Media YEAR OF STUDY OR YEAR OF GRADUATION 2013 WEBSITE OR LINK TO FURTHER INFORMATION www.smartfilmproduction.com Smart Film Production is a creative enterprise established by Ondrej Lodes and Marcin Walczak, specialising in video production and public relations associated activities, to both national and international clients. Our aim is to provide the highest p ossible video production services, with no limits to creativity. An opportunity to start our entrepreneurial journey began in 2013 when we graduated from QMU. Recommendations from Ondrej’s and my own placement provider led us to further contracts and the formation of Smart Film Production. Since then we have filmed and produced numerous promotional, educational, training and conference videos, along with motion graphics and documentaries. As graduates of QMU we have access to the Business Innovation Zone (BIZ) which provides invaluable opportunities to collaborate and exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs. In addition the on campus Business Gateway was a very useful source of information about business start-up. “In the current economic climate, entrepreneurship appeared to be the right step towards employment in the media/film industry. Being an entrepreneur gives a lot of freedom, provides challenges, but it’s a very rewarding experience. It has provided us with the best learning and working experience since graduating from QMU.”
