In Hollywood, he says he worked for a long time in special effects, before specializing in the promotion of filming places abroad. His career changed in 2019, when, with a letter of recommendation from the American ambassador in Warsaw, he seeks to convince Paramount to pass the mission shoot: impossible 7 by Poland. The Capot company, Eksner takes the fly, gradually constituting a file loading the American giant. His most compromising room? The contract of more than $ 200 million signed in the summer of 2020 by Paramount with the production company New Republic Pictures, relating to ten films, including Top Gun: Maverick and the Mission saga: impossible, with Tom Cruise each time.
