In Martyr's Guidebook Tony is the ultimate good guy–sometimes to a fault. From nabbing the smallest slice of cake in grade school to guiding lost strangers in the city, his kindness knows no bounds. He also shares a flat with a giant Angel.

 

Maksymilian Rzontkowski is a filmmaker, designer, and music producer, who crafts delicate stories characterized by a unique blend of sadness and awkwardness, a skill he honed through self-observation at parties. He specializes in compact forms and observations, drawing inspiration from human quirks, paradoxes, and communication missteps, which serve as a reminder of how our small imperfections contribute to our humanity. His film Martyr’s Guidebook, has been selected at Sundance FF.
