At some point, photography was not enough – Dragan decided to take up film. He started shooting short films in 2013 and opened his own production studio, Weird, in 2014.
His debut film, Hierarchy Lost, joined both his scientific and photographic interests. The story, set in the near future, is about a man who discovers the so-called theory of everything (which is a hypothetical, all-encompassing theory explaining every physical aspect of the universe). …
In 2015, Dragan made the music video for the song The Satanist by Polish death metal band Behemot. He also directed and produced his next shorts inspired by physical theories, including Time Dilation – a film that Piotr Stanisławski called 'a film about physics you won’t be able to forget, even though you’ll certainly want to' in his review for the website Crazy Nauka.
In 2020, Dragan directed one of the segments of the anthology At Home produced by HBO Poland. Not surprisingly, Dragan’s work had an air of immense anxiety to it – it stars Jerzy Nasierowski, the legendary Polish actor infamous for his criminal past, reciting the poem A Song on the End of the World by Czesław Miłosz. The duo certainly managed to expose the terror lurking in the poem.
As Dragan emphasises in all his interviews, he is primarily a physicist – photography and film are only his hobbies that he may get bored with at any minute. We will see what surprises the versatile scientist and artist has for us in the future.
