My current project is

giving voice

to the unsung Heroes who have been fighting in the frontline since the brutal 2020 New York outbreak. Even when they had to risk their own and their loved ones’ life.

‘HERE COMES THE SUN’ is a true story

‘During the brutal 2020 Covid outbreak in New York, a frontline resident doctor and her husband must face love, deaths, fear and helplessness before her next 24-hour shift in the Death Zone.’

DEATH WALTZ

was the first feature film I directed.

Oddly enough, it was Hungary’s first thriller genre movie. I had the chance to work with well-known Hungarian stars (András Kern, Kata Dobó). Screened nation-wide in every theater.

STORY:

‘A long-lost retired father comes for a visit to his daughter and as both of them are detectives they begin to investigate each-other. Dark secrets come to surface mixed with life-threatening love triangle.’

You can see the trailer below. If you are interested in watching the whole movie, please contact me. (100 mins, Subtitles available.)

JOHNNY’S PRESENT

is my first narrative short film I have written and directed in New york City (co-writer and starring: Mihaly Szabados). The artistic challenge was telling a complex drama of a layered character with the help of only a single actor who is on phone in a car during the whole story.

STORY:

‘An immigrant Shakespearean actor working as a Santa-for-hire decides to call everyone who ruined his life…on Christmas Eve.’

YOUR FAIRY TALE

is a fashion film I have written and directed in Los Angeles for the brand Haute Sisqué. Originally, it was four individual commercials with a mutual concept.

The theme that loosely fuses the four commercials into one fashion film is the contemporary version of the fairy tale ‘The Sleeping Beauty’.

MARCH OF THE LIVING

is an ad I wrote and directed for the International March Of The Living.

The universal goal of the International March of the Living is to help inspire their participants to fight indifference, racism and injustice by witnessing the atrocities of the Holocaust. Therefore the concept of this film is about to tear down the dark, mirror-walls between us and see the other soul behind.

Large part of the movie was shot with a super slow-motion camera with 15,000 frames per sec. So you can see real life mirror breaking here with real life people participating. No digital effects (VFX) involved.
