Edward Porembny was born in Poland and started his career in Paris, France, where he obtained a degree in Film and Art before crafting a successful career directing documentaries - winning several awards in the process - for leading French broadcasters including Canal +, France 2, France 3 and TF1. With ‘Space Traveller’, a film about astronauts that won the top award of the 1992 International Film Festival in Lectoure, France, he directed his first co-production, a collaboration between Canal +, La 5, and CNN. His experience then allowed him to venture into the world of commercial advertising, shooting commercials around the world for a selection of agencies and clients including D’Arcy, Leo Burnett, Philip Morris, P&G and PDDB. Edward founded his production company AMP Polska and within a year completed his first feature, the UK/Polish co-production ‘Inheritance’.
