My name is Lukasz Krzysztof Augustyniak — a Polish-born, Edinburgh-based director of scripted film and television, visual artist, and founder of the Cinema Chef universe. With over 20 years of experience in filmmaking, photography, and performance, I create work that blends cinematic precision with emotional rawness — bold visuals that feel intimate, poetic, and alive. I directed and edited Monari

, a documentary filmed in Nairobi, Kenya, and have produced projects ranging from music videos and branded stories to live studio shows and fire performances. Recently, I directed the 3-camera studio production Beyond the Spotlights and served as 1st Assistant Director on the scripted pilot Shadows of the Silver Screen. I am currently studying BA (Hons) Film, Television & Media at Edinburgh Napier University, building a pathway as a scripted director, supported by experience as an AD. Whether shooting solo or leading a crew, I bring a clear eye, a sharp aesthetic, and a deep intuition for rhythm, movement, and meaning. My practice is driven by presence — by what happens when light, emotion, and narrative meet. WHAT I DO

I collaborate with:

Artists looking for cinematic portraits, reels, and music videos. Institutions needing bold documentation of events and experiences. Brands who want storytelling that moves people, not just sells. I direct, shoot, and edit projects from start to finish — or step in as a creative lead, guiding teams through concept to delivery. My skills span multicam productions, fast-turnaround shoots, and stylised solo work. Let’s co-create something unforgettable — whether it’s a cinematic portrait, a teaser that feels like a poem, or a visual campaign that cuts through the noise.

🔥 Cabaret Murder: Danger Meets Delight Tonight | The Pitt, Edinburgh

This is the aftermovie from the previous Cabaret Murder. A night where fire, mystery and circus collided in one explosive spectacle. Captured through our lens, where every spark told a story.
Tonight the flames return. Fire dancers. Aerialists. Vikings. Suspense and secrets glowing in the dark. Will you uncover the truth or get burned by it?

As Cinema Chef I continue filming this fiery journey from a spark to a blazing movement.
