Subject to Change
Exploring the impacts climate change is having on our world, Subject to Change tells the personal stories of Pacific communities living on the frontline. It is a beautifully shot and moving exploration of how climate change is affecting the people whose lives are based around the ocean, that are now faced with rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification.

Newly graduated from Massey University of New Zealand with a BA in Media Production, Director, Producer and hobbyist photographer originating from Poland, Wiktoria Ojrzyńska has directed and produced a number of student short films and short documentaries.
Recently, "Subject to Change", which she directed and co-produced, was awarded in two categories at the Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival (Adult Short and Woman in Film) and has had it's own screenings at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, England, as part of their Oceania Exhibition, and at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP24) in Katowice, Poland.
Wiktoria's stories focus on environmental issues and diversity of cultures. She draws inspiration from travels, volunteering, and people around the world.
I starve to produce meaningful content because I think it's the best way to bring awareness to some of the biggest issues that we, as a human race, are facing at the moment. I'm fascinated by our connection to the natural world and the way the camera can see nature in a different, more detailed way, invisible to the human eye.
