The company Lucerna Vision was founded by cinematographer, director, screenwriter, and producer Stanislav Skřička. His journey into filmmaking was shaped by dramatic life changes. In the late 1980s, he escaped communist Czechoslovakia to the West in search of freedom.
He was captivated by the American continent, where he eventually worked his way up to the position of manager for a NASCAR racing team. The team owner, Hollywood actor Michael S., introduced him to the international film industry and connected him with professionals from all over the world—an experience that profoundly influenced his creative path.
His film career began from the ground up, working in technical roles such as gaffer and cinematographer while focusing on the study of cinematography. Over time, he developed a distinctive auteur style rooted in authenticity.
His early documentary work led him to a deeper study of screenwriting. During this period, he wrote the screenplay "Oprawme se" and the book of the same name, which became a Czech bestseller with approximately 20,000 copies sold.
After years in commercial production and filming music videos for British punk bands, he became an independent creator focusing on ecology and powerful human stories. Despite being of retirement age, he continues to attend film schools, believing that this field always has something new to offer.
"In all his documentaries, the image plays the lead role. He tells his stories through visual perceptions rather than spoken words."
Stanislav composes the music for his films himself. With a foundation in music theory, he views Artificial Intelligence not as a generator of random melodies, but as a sophisticated tool for realizing his own musical visions.
Lucerna Vision operates as a creative label. All production is legally represented by the company Oprawme se s.r.o., a legal entity managing development, production, and intellectual property rights.
Lucerna Vision Motto:
"For some things to make sense, they must be lived, not filmed."
