Bio
I was born in Humenné, east Slovakia.
Since my childhood I dedicated myself to music that took me to London where I was a bassist of The Bridgeheads.
After returning to Slovakia I graduated from film direction at Academy of performing arts in Bratislava.
My graduation film The Ballad of Simon and Teresa resonated at home and on festivals abroad
and was selected as a semifinalist of Student Academy Awards.
Currently, we are developing our first feature film Mina, together with scriptwriter Tereza Dodokova.
I am also working on a second feature film script based on life and diaries of a painter László Mednyánszky.
