Marek Dojs is an award-winning filmmaker and associate professor of Communication at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota.

 

A British Pole raised in the United States within an English community, Marek works in multiple media but finds his niche in nonfiction film, aiming to create purposeful and meaningful works.
