I studied and lived in Budapest as well as Vienna before I started to study documentary film directing at the self-organized film school filmArche e.V. in Berlin, 2018. I participated and organized a wide variety of film workshops, and realized several short films since my studies started. My films mostly deal with my identity as an Eastern European Austrian who grew up in Hungary, which I usually process through the portrait of characters who live in the margins of capitalist society, far from the city life and closer to plants and animals. I currently work in Berlin as a freelance assistant director, production assistant, and editor, as I develop my first feature-length film, a hybrid movie about self-sufficient women in rural Hungary.
