An economist by training, a director by passion, and a film buff. In 2001, his first short film, "Be Flexible," won him an award at the Motovun Festival in Croatia, among others.

In 2007, he received a British Council nomination for the International Young Film Entrepreneur of the Year Award (IYFEY) and was featured in Screen International magazine as a European Star of Tomorrow. That same year, the Polish broadcaster TVN invited him to direct the immensely popular series "39 i pół" (39 and a Half), and later invited him to collaborate on the project "Letters to Santa." Mitja Okorn has also directed numerous commercials and award-winning music videos. He has been living and working in Poland since 2007.
