Why Filmmotif?
I created Filmmotif film and video production & editing services in 2020 to help content creators produce content with a lasting impact, as I’d like to share my filmmaking knowledge with those who give value to their audience.
The reason why this is so important for me is because I understand that communicating what one really means can be very difficult sometimes. This is something that I have experienced myself in my younger years. That is why I want to help people learn to communicate with others in the most powerful way, with the help of video. A visual language easily understood by everyone.
The reason why I am the person to help others in this is, apart from my filmmaking skills, my own personal history. Since, besides having a formal education in film, I had a lot of powerful and humbling life experiences. These provided me with a source of creativity and a good understanding of what moves people, which allow me to produce content that can resonate with audiences on a deeper level.
Where I come from
I am a European filmmaker with Hungarian origins born in Northern Serbia. I received my education in London. First I attended the University of East London’s Media, Film and Culture Studies course. From this university I received a BA honours degree in Media and Creative Industries in 2008.
After that I joined the London Film School (LFS). Here I directed three fiction short films. One of these, a comedy titled Kyoto Rain was screened at Palm Beach and Arizona Film Festivals in 2013. Meanwhile, I also produced a few other shorts including a documentary. For the latter I was co-director as well. This film also screened at film festivals. In 2014 I graduated from LFS when I completed my graduation film titled A Lovely Life. Later on I have written a treatment for a feature film based on my graduation short.
However, I have been making films since 2009. First I started as Producer’s Assistant and later worked as Head of Development for a production company. After graduating from LFS I continued working in film as a freelance producer, videographer and video editor. I have been commissioned to record and edit event videos and promotional films by estate agency, charity and a variety independent commissioners.
Altogether I participated in the making of a fair number of short fiction films, corporate videos and documentaries. Most recently, as part of Filmmotif, I produced my first animation short, a funny story about how a Hungarian scientist discovered Vitamin-C. (Later on he won the Nobel prize for it.) Currently I’m developing a series out of this animation.
