I got my master degree at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, Department of Film and TV Directing. I was mentored by professors Martin Šulík and Stanislav Párnický. I also studied art history at Pázmány Péter Catholic University in Budapest and communication and journalism in Schola Europa Academy in Budapest. I began my career as a child actor in theater, and also a voice actor. In 2007 I started his own advertising and production company, where I was director, copywriter, editor and CEO.
Later, I decided rather to become a professional film director and went to study in Bratislava. In my film-school years I made several award-winning shorts, often also wrote, edited and composed music. My 62 minutes long graduate film was screened in major arthouse movie theaters in Slovakia, distributed by Film Europe Media Company, and has won the best directing in student feature film prize at one of the most important film award events in Slovakia, the IGRIC. I has also directed music videos, documentaries, commercials and an interactive exhibition in Bratislava.
In 2013 I started working as a 3rd and 2nd assistant director, mainly in multi-language (Slovak-Czech-English-Hungarian) film crews. In Hungary I collaborated with Szabolcs Hajdú, Jim Stark and Isaac de Bankolé in their western Mirage, also with Lili Horváth in her Karlovy Vary winner debut The Wednesday Child, and also worked as a production assistant in international commercials produced by Nice Shirt Films and Pioneer Productions.
