Budapest isn’t just my base—it’s one of my biggest creative inspirations. The city carries a cinematic weight that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. Its architecture offers endless contrast: baroque façades beside brutalist towers, decaying stairwells hidden behind ornate courtyards. Every block feels like a film set waiting for a story. As a filmmaker, I constantly find myself location-scouting just by walking home.

This kind of environment naturally pushes me to think visually. I look at how light filters through cracked glass, how textures play off shadow, or how symmetry frames a subject in a doorway. These aren’t just backdrops—they influence mood, tone, and sometimes even the themes of my work. Budapest invites stillness and introspection. It’s especially suited for stories that linger in atmosphere rather than action.

Most of my personal projects—Echo State, Fragments, and even earlier experimental work—are inseparable from this city. Not just visually, but emotionally. There's something about Budapest’s layered history and sense of quiet resilience that mirrors the kind of introspective filmmaking I love. It’s a city that reminds you that stillness has depth and that every wall has a story.
