PAVEL
KRISTEK

I grew up surrounded
by nature and space
to explore.

From a small village in Czech Republic, I moved to Zlín to study film and media — where I began shaping my creative and technical skills. Eventually I moved to Prague, spending two intense years on various film sets and creative projects.

After some time, I felt the need to step out — so I spent half a year across Asia, living as a digital nomad. We came back with a small companion: we found him as a one-month-old puppy on the street and couldn't bring ourselves to leave him there. I love dogs in general — but this one especially.

After returning to Czech Republic, I settled in Hradec Králové, where together with other creative people we're trying to wake up a local scene and culture that has been quietly stagnating. Seismic.rec — a techno label and creative collective — grew out of that effort.

I started in classical production — camera assistant, DoP, camera operator. Over time I became deeply curious about AI and the possibilities it opens for visual storytelling. That curiosity led to Fameplay, and from there into a fully developed creative practice blending both worlds. Now I work independently, collaborating with productions and artists on projects across the full spectrum.

I also taught myself HTML and CSS to build our collective's site (seismicrec.com). A willingness to learn fast and push things until they feel right — whether it's filmmaking, AI, or web structure.
