"Mocskos Idők"

1990-ben születtem Zalaegerszegen. 2008 óta készítek filmeket. A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem Média (MOME) Design szakának elvégzése után felvettek a Színház-és Filmművészeti Egyetem (SZFE) filmrendező szakára. A filmkészítésben fontosnak tartom a stábot, mint alkotó emberek gyülekezetét, akik szeretnek embereket látni és láttatni a filmvásznon. Ezt az attitűdöt szeretném megőrizni saját dokumentumfilmes és fikciós munkáinkban is.
