In case you are someone enjoying a film festival and watch these films on the silver screen, my films are screened at many festivals around the world. I’m very thankful for any kind of support I can get, even if its just a couple of dollars. It’s not easy to make a living out of personal work, and I do struggle with balancing commission and investing time into my own films. I also post news and work on my Instagram: someone is interested in my latest work and would like to support me, I have one film available for a few USD on Vimeo on Demand: Some of my work is available online on Vimeo for free. What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support? I do think that this is naive and romantic thinking. In a perfect world, people would trust their audience more, challenge them with different ways of expression and not only rely on already existing material or the big names in filmmaking. I’m bored with most of the things I can see in the cinemas. I guess life is a bit more hard for a filmmaker as film on a bigger scale is generally just a business and has almost nothing to do with art and original scripts. I believe if your ways of expressing yourself are honest, you are kind and connected to your community and you are not trying to get somewhere by just the minimum amount of work invested your work is going to resonate with an audience. I find this to be a blessing either ways. That’s alright though, and I don’t think it would or should be any different. ![]() I always found it hard, as there is a lot of talent and you have to really hustle to get where you want to be. 15 minutes of animation can altogether take a year to make, so not loving what you do isn’t an option.ĭo you think the conditions are generally improving for artists? What more can cities and communities do to improve conditions for artists? I love the freedom animation offers, and a million decisions a filmmaker has to consider while putting together a film like that. I feel like investing in what you want to learn and not trying to get around the time practicing and focusing is something that is rare these days. High quality animated content needs a lot of time and mastering something with patience has always been something I was drawn to. Therefore I find this community very honest and enthusiastic. Animation is something that needs a lot of devotion and isn’t something you can “fake.” You have to invest a lot of time learning the different aspects of it. I m mainly interested in unconventional storytelling and narrative. My films rely on editing, movement, color, composition, and sound design. I don’t really work with narration or dialogue. It’s important to me not to repeat myself, try more ways of expressing something visually. Recently I have been more interested in mixing drawn material with CG. I have been mainly making short films, and one time a longer piece for a live show with the Danish jazz orchestra. I make mainly 2D drawn frame by frame classic animation. I love the craft and the community around it.Ĭan you give our readers some background on your art? Not sure I would be any good at anything else either. I love film and drawing and can’t really imagine doing anything else instead. I have been working between Hungary and Denmark for about four years now, and have spent more time in LA working with the bigger studios and teaching a bit at CalArts. I have been making a living mainly from personal independent films as an animator and director with a little bit of commission and teaching animation here and there. Since then, I have been working in the field and making more personal films. Within my years at the university, I was traveling around Europe for festivals, workshops, and conferences as a student, and after I graduated moved to Denmark to make my first professional film after school. ![]() ![]() I made my bachelors and master degree in animation filmmaking at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest and graduated in 2013. After that, my family and I moved back to Budapest Hungary. I’m Hungarian but was born in Germany, then moved to Austria and lived there until I was 8.
