About

Thank you for your time reading my profile!

I am a young Hungarian filmmaker who lives in London and would like to kickstart his filming and TV career in the UK. In Hungary I have already gained six years of filmmaking and photography experience during and after my cameraman and camera assistant training and have developed contacts in the industry, which I would like to start doing here too.

 My main aim in life is to understand and express myself, and I found the tool for this in moving images and photography. I chose moving images as my career ambition because this is my means of leaving a part of me in the world, and working on it makes me content with myself.

I love telling stories, creating different moods with camera movement and lights, and working closely with the director and the crew. I have always aimed to be on the creative side of moving images, mostly cinematography. This is the part of film and TV production which I am the most acquainted with, but I have also developed and used my directing, editing, writing and acting skills. I have cinematography, camera operator, camera assistant and gaffer experience in a wide range of genres.
