The founder with her favorite accessory: a film camera.

Blueyes Productions was founded in 2017 by Award Winning writer / director Balbinka Korzeniowska who has worked in the entertainment industry for over 13 years. She’s been in front and behind the camera and in 2016 received her MFA in Directing from UCLA where she was nominated for a Student Academy Award for her film, AWAKEN.

She's all about the misfits—especially women and immigrants who refuse to be ignored, and the marginalized communities that make them unstoppable. Her feature film debut, PLAYING THROUGH, has won over 13 awards including the Audience Winner at the Sarasota Film Festival, Best Female Director at the Montreal Independent Film Festival, Best Feature Film at Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Feature Film and the Grand Prix at the Vienna Independent Film Festival and most recently was the Audience Winner for Best Feature Film at the Naples International Film Festival.

She is currently in post production on THE INTIMACY OF WAR, a short documentary about a modern day hero who saves the lives of 17 Ukrainian refugee women and children. She is also in pre production on a docu series, HOUSE DIVIDED: The TRAX TAPES, about the first House music label from Chicago and it’s infamous owner Screamin’ Rachael. Additionally, she’s in pre-production on her pilot DIRTY LAUNDRY, a story of a family of honest and hard working Polish immigrants who accidently (whoops !) turn their families laundromat into a front for their escort service. Set in her hometown, Chicago.

Balbinka resides in Los Angeles and speaks Polish (and English!) and when not creating visual stories, she works on her master plan of rescuing all the homeless dogs. And yes, she has blue eyes.
