Unconventional CREATION,
mindful leadership,
radical innovation.

I'M JAN DUFEK. I INVENT, CREATE, TEACH, COMMUNICATE AND SEARCH. LOOK FURTHER AND MAYBE WE'LL FIND A COMMON GROUND.

DIRECTOR / CREATOR

Making something out of nothing. Pulling an idea out of the void and turning it into reality. To translate an idea into space and move it. I've been fascinated by that my whole life.

I'm mostly known as a director and one who writes, but I live the work in every aspect. Whether it's image, sound, story, or something that doesn't have a name yet.

I make music videos, documentaries, series and online content. I write scripts, create concepts. In advertising, television and anywhere I can. 

DHARMA TEACHER

Relax! This isn't some newage hippie meow.

This is a deep interest in playing with states of consciousness and the search for what we are. Dharma, for me, is the most radical attitude we can have. And I've been at it so long that I'm teaching it.

CONSULTANT

In my years in advertising, I can advise on strategy and marketing. In depth and comprehensive.

With an obsession with technology, I'm happy to help with understanding AI and implementing it anywhere.
