Kuba & Kinga Luczkiewicz
Kuba Luczkiewicz studied Film & TV at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. He immigrated to the United States in 1990 and settled in Chicago. One year later he married Kinga. He began his career in 1993 as a co-producer and editor of a weekly travel series for a local television station in Chicago. While working on the series which ran successfully for three seasons, Kuba began an artistic collaboration with the renowned Outerpretation Studio, headed by avant-garde multimedia artist Miroslaw Rogala. Kuba worked as a cameraman and editor on the studio’s most acclaimed projects, including “Divided We Stand”, presented at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Chicago.
From 1997 to 2003, Kuba headed a U.S. production team for TV Polonia, a branch of the largest public television station in Poland. He created more than 50 hours of television programming simulcast nationally in Poland and in the continental U.S.. During that period he continued his career as a documentary filmmaker. He filmed and directed “Anything You Say” a shocking story of Rafal Pietrzak, an inmate and alleged victim of Texas judicial system. The documentary was purchased by the largest commercial television station in Poland after just one public screening in Chicago. Kuba’s passion for the film making process put him on the set of several major Hollywood productions, such as “Joshua”, where he worked with Academy Award winner Murray F. Abraham, or “Children On Their Birthdays” with Tom Arnold and Christopher McDonald. In 1998 Kuba was working on the set (behind the scenes footage) of the feature film “The Trap” (Pulapka) by acclaimed Polish-born director Adek Drabinski. A year later Kuba was commissioned by HBO to produce a documentary about directorial work of Boguslaw Linda on the set of his second feature “Sucker’s Season”.
In 2004, together with his wife Kinga, he founded Road 28 Productions, and since has been a formidable production partnership. Their complimentary talents have produced creative projects that represent results greater than the sum of each of their singular efforts. Their filmography includes documentaries such as “Padre Szeliga”, “700 Miles from Hollywood”, (both commissioned by TV), “God’s Dearest” and “American Masters: Greta Kempton”. Their first narrative short “Houseless Hunters”, a parody of a popular TV show, received The Best of Open Film Festival 2011 in the category of Reality TV Parody. It was followed by “Four is a Crowd”, a short, full-improv comedy.
Currently, Kuba and Kinga are working on a pre-production of a full-length feature titled Barista, a film with layered nuance, three dimensional characters and a fast-paced suspenseful plot that encompasses a myriad of issues humanity has been dealing with through the ages.
