Eustachy Da Niero, actually Daniel Staśkiewicz (born January 16 1984 in Zgorzelec) – a Polish producer, director, actor, writer, photographer, traveler, philanthropist and visionary. He is the founder of "Polversal Pictures" studio and the author of "Forfiter" – a short film debut awarded the "Szindler" statue for best direction. He is considered one of the greatest geniuses of contemporary trivial creation.
He was born in Zgorzelec, an exceptionally picturesque town in southwestern Poland known for smuggling, criminals and wonderfully filtered air from nearby power plants. The son of an exquisite baking mistress and a virtuoso of the art of construction. He was raised in the Catholic faith with two brothers, who unfortunately didn't show him much sympathy while hoping for a sister.
Even as a young child he showed a talent for playing. Barely able to speak, he was already breaking joysticks playing games on the Commodore C64. At the age of 6 he played the role of "Grandfather" in a school show called "The Turnip". He was unbeatable in school races and he overcame all speed limits with his "Salto" bike. As a teenager he played for the basketball club "Turów Zgorzelec", where he earned the nickname "Air Staszek".
He attended the Automotive Technical School in Zgorzelec, where instead of polishing his creativity, he only polished mechanical vehicle parts with a dirty "rag". Soon dilemmas arose along with the decision to escape from his homeland, which only offered the prospect of working as a shovel operator or a concrete mixer manager in his own father's company.
In 2004 he traveled to Ireland, where he began a new episode of his life. The beauty of the green island awakened a deep passion for travel, photography and all forms of art within him. The fascination with the camera was so strong that the counter in his first camera exploded after just a week. The undemanding jobs he took on allowed him to develop his true passions in the comfort of his own room, where he felt the best.
His first adventure in film began as an extra in the Irish series "Fair City". He also appeared in an instructional video for the "Spar" store chain, made a guest appearance on the show "Elev8" and his private cruiser Volkswagen Golf IV appeared on the set of the film hit "Frank". The following years did not bring him great achievements. Apart from his acting career he also became interested in film production and directing.
For a certain period he found himself in the depths of meaninglessness and a lack of hope for any success. He was motivated to continue by Stanisław Szymkiewicz – a good friend and colleague. Thanks to him Eustachy invested his savings in a film project, taking on the roles of director, screenwriter and one of the main actors. We're talking of course about the film "Forfiter", which quickly gained popularity in online rankings.
Today his character needs no introduction. He is widely known to the public and his innovative, even avant-garde project brought him applause, respect and fame among fans of independent and alternative cinema. Articles in local newspapers, interviews and the rapidly growing popularity of this aging playboy are just a few of the many accomplishments he has achieved in such a short time.
The phenomenon resulting from the unconventional solutions used in the film "Forfiter" overshadowed many internet creators previously considered top-tier on YouTube. A small studio from Lower Silesia experienced a true renaissance after the film's release and Eustachy received numerous collaboration offers from artists such as "Jeleniejaja", "Penziger Horror Movies" and "TheChwytak".
Since 2020 he has been in a relationship with Magdalena Browarek. He still resides in Ireland. He tirelessly strives for perfection in every possible field of art. He supports non-profit actions and engages in various social projects. He is active on social media, where he promotes most of his brands and constantly keeps his enthusiastic audience in suspense, eagerly awaiting new productions.
