LATEST PROJECTS

Andrius Mamontovas. Silence in the Sound | docuseries

A household name in Lithuania, Andrius Mamontovas has been captivating audiences with his unique blend of melancholic rock for four decades now.

Moving on to a solo career, Mamontovas showcased an even wider array of talents - a successful producer, actor, and film composer.

A journey into the heart and soul of Vytautas Kernagis, a locally renowned singer and artist, a complex man who spent much of his life in the public eye but revealing his true self only to family and closest friend with video camera in hand.

Born in 1984, on the edge of the Soviet collapse, Andrius grew up in a country rebuilding itself from the ground up - a backdrop that shaped his instinct to look for the forces that move societies and the people who dare to push them forward. That lens remains at the heart of his work: whether capturing cultural icons, uncovering untold histories, or spotlighting quiet disruptors who leave a mark.

WORKING ON

Hijacked Life | docuseries

In 1970, a teenager and his father hijack a Soviet airplane in search of freedom, igniting a 50-year odyssey across three continents — until, in 2002, in California, the son kills the father.

When the final whistle blows, what’s left to fight for? Chasing Gold in the Dark follows a retired Paralympic champion and his two teammates as they confront life without sports, lost identity, and the struggle to find a new purpose.

Armor, Rust and Power | documentary

“Armor, Rust, and Power” crosses continents to profile an American billionaire and a struggling Lithuanian teacher—two strangers from worlds apart, each consumed by an obsession with collecting tanks. As they restore these relics of war, the film unravels the personal motives behind their fascination and reveals how modern masculinity hides just beneath the rusted armor.
