Description

I'm an Assistant Director with experience working on big international productions, and recently, I had the opportunity to work in Abu Dhabi on F1, an Apple Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Films project with Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem, directed by Joseph Kosinski. It was a massive production, and my role involved coordinating crowd scenes and making sure everything ran smoothly on set.

I've worked across film and TV with studios like Amazon MGM, A24, Netflix, and Columbia Pictures, handling fast-paced environments and large-scale shoots. I love the challenge of making things happen behind the scenes, keeping everything organized, and problem-solving on the go.

I speak English and Hungarian fluently, and my background in economics and film production gives me a mix of creative and logistical skills that help me navigate the industry.


Special Skills & Experience

I'm highly organized and work well under pressure, especially on big sets where things are constantly changing. Problem-solving is a huge part of what I do—I’m quick to adapt and make sure everything runs smoothly, whether it's managing schedules, coordinating large crowds, or handling last-minute changes.

I have a solid understanding of on-set operations and know how to communicate effectively with different departments to keep things efficient. I’m also a certified drone operator, which comes in handy for certain shoots. Plus, I have experience with video editing in Premiere Pro at a basic level.

Fluent in English and Hungarian, I can work in international environments easily, and I always bring a professional but easygoing approach to every project.
