In 2007, he received a British Council nomination for the International Young Film Entrepreneur of the Year Award (IYFEY) and was featured in Screen International magazine as a European Star of Tomorrow. That same year, the Polish broadcaster TVN invited him to direct the immensely popular series "39 i pół" (39 and a Half), and later invited him to collaborate on the project "Letters to Santa."
