ADAM NAWROT
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Hey there, my name is Adam! I am a filmmaker working primarily in non-fiction, and am the director of the celebrated film Godspeed, Los Polacos!. I co-own Sourland Studios, and work as a freelance DP that is comfortable both in studio and harsh/remote work environments. I love what I do, and I have brought my talents to productions across the globe from LA to Antarctica. My lifelong passion for the outdoors and dedication to the pursuits of climbing, paddling, and cycling inform my work, and my practice is never too far removed from a core adventurous spirit.

GODSPEED, LOS POLACOS!

Godspeed is my directorial feature debut and the project of which I am most proud. The film was released digitally in September 2021 via 1091 Pictures, enjoyed a theatrical run with Adventure Entertainment, is available on LOT Polish Airlines, and is broadcast in Europe via AMC and Sundance TV. The film has won over 13 awards at festivals including Best Feature at the Banff Mountain Film Festival - regarded by many as the crown jewel of adventure filmmaking.

THE LOST STORY OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST ROAD TRIP

During the Cold War, Poland’s youth looked for any way to break away from the monotony of life under Communist rule. In the City of Krakow, a group of university students formed a kayaking club as a tool to explore their local rivers and avoid participation in Communist parades and rallies. After experiencing the thrill of Poland’s one and only class III rapid, club members Andrzej Pietowski, Jurek Majcherczyk, and Piotr Chmielinski (who would go on to be the first person to paddle the Amazon river source to sea) set their sights on the impossible - leaving the Eastern Bloc to paddle whitewater.

Godspeed, Los Polacos! tells the story of five kayakers on the edge of adulthood who skillfully pull the strings of the Soviet system, and find themselves on a kayaking expedition in the Americas with a six-wheeled military truck, homemade equipment, and little to no whitewater skills. The story follows their epic two-year journey that culminates in the record-breaking first descent of the world’s deepest canyon, and finds the kayakers in Soviet cross-hairs after they leverage their newfound fame to fight for democracy in the Eastern Bloc.
