“Given a chance, young film creatives can achieve a lot. Some filmmaking talents need a little nudge, some – a little inspiration. That’s why for the past 5 years we have been extending Papaya Young Directors initiative and applying more educational approach. We are co-operating with 39 film and art schools, hosting workshops with advertising and film experts as well as coaching sessions with mentors. We travel around Poland with Papaya Films Creative Fridays, during which we explore various layers of creative process, inspire and give young people an impulse to think differently,” explains Kasia Siewko, Project Manager of Papaya Young Directors.

“PAPAYA YOUNG DIRECTORS GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCOVER NEW STARS, TO GET TO KNOW YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE STARTING IN THE BUSINESS AND WHO OFFER AN UTTERLY FRESH LOOK ON WHAT WE ARE DOING, AND THAT IS AMAZING.”ADAM SZAŁAMACHA, ALLEGRO BRAND
