Edward is a Polish-Chilean-American filmmaker and speechwriter. After joining a Series-B FinTech start-up as employee #43—helping scale it to 10,000 people and steer its Nasdaq IPO—and earlier shaping digital strategy for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, he turned his lens toward stories that refuse to sit quietly.
A Columbia University graduate in anthropology, linguistics, and economics, Edward explores the frontiers where debt becomes myth, numbers become ritual, and children’s voices re-stitch memory. He is currently completing his MFA in Film Direction & Screenwriting at Stony Brook University under the mentorship of Christine Vachon of Killer Films.
From September 2025 to January 2026 he will shoot My Imaginary Family across Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay—a fraternal love story set amid the most turbulent century of Chilean history. At its heart stand his great-grandparents, whose record-breaking 81-year marriage—the longest on record in Chile—carried them to ages 105 and 102, and the twelve children whose intertwined lives ripple across six nations.
He is also developing El Último Viaje (Finally, Goodbye), an elegy on end-of-life care among first-generation immigrants in the United States.
A devotee of Bollywood, Nollywood, and Old English Sheepdogs, Edward once bicycled solo from Washington, D.C. to San Francisco—shattering five ribs and a collarbone yet raising $15,726 for Mental Health America. Still without a driver’s license, he has outrun Dengue in Guatemala and Leptospirosis in Kashmir; malaria, he jokes, is waiting in the wings.
