Film production

In May 2017, NEXT FILM extended its activity to film production. The first film produced by NEXT FILM was “Plan B”, directed by Kinga Dębska. In 2022, the company produced “Johnny” directed by Daniel Jaroszek. The story of an extraordinary friendship starring Dawid Ogrodnik and Piotr Trojan became the second highest-grossing Polish film of the year. The NEXT FILM portfolio also includes productions commissioned by external companies, dedicated for streaming platforms. The first film of this kind was the comedy “Delivery by Christmas” produced for Netflix. In 2024, two NEXT FILM’s productions will premiere: “Wróbel [Sparrow]” (di. Wojciech Gąssowski) and “The AA Team” (dir. Daniel Jaroszek).
