Producer, Director, Musician, Teacher
What was your first film job...?
I started out as an actor on a feature shot a long time ago in Budapest. I had to sing a song freshly composed by a major Hungarian pop star, Gabor Presser, for the movie, Auto. I went on and won first place in a national songwriting competition. Once I played for an audience of 5000.
What other jobs have you done on set...?
Directed, of course. One time, as part of the sound team, I built an impenetrable wall on the streets of NY using smelly trash bags. They stunk, but they also blocked the genny's noise quite effectively. I wish they hadn't leaked though... The director was a young lady from Afghanistan who insisted on helping me lift the generator out of the taxi's trunk. We pulled it forward a bit, I asked her, "Isn't this too heavy for you, are you sure about this?" Don't worry, she said. And immediately dropped her side. It took a year for my toenail to grow back.
Who were your mentors...?
Immortal Hungarian actor, Zoltan Latinovits. Then there were Eisenstein, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Spielberg, Lee, Cameron, Kitano Takeshi, Tarantino, Woody Allen, Kurosawa, Fellini, Pasolini - all through their films and DVD interviews.

| The Fellowship Movie | Nov 25 - Feb 01, 2009 |
| A daydreaming, unappreciated and underachieving geek works in a gaming and comic book store. An overbearing boss harasses. But then an envelope arrives - sent from the geek's dreams and postmarked adventure. Randall can't believe what he is seeing, a Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Competition in Orlando. This is a LOTR fan and video nut's dream come true. It's a chance to do something important, the possibility of being a winner at something he's actually good at, and an opportunity to spread his wings a bit, to get out of his small, dead-end town. But Jack and his friends, also geeks but a bit cooler - or so they seem - stand in the way. They are Randall and his friends' chief competition to make it to Orlando, and generally thorns in their sides. The match between the rivals to get to Orlando never takes place because Jack frames Randall, getting him into a heap of trouble. Suspended from school, restricted at home, terrorized by his older brother and humiliated by his boss and Jack, all seems hopeless until Randall receives an unexpected e-mail that provides new hope. Randall, Squirrelly, Nate and Stacey decide to go to Orlando in hopes of righting the wrong and competing in the competition. Ready or not they begin their quest like four hobbits venturing out into the wide world. Pursued by Randall's Nazgul-like brother and trying to avoid Jack and his friends, the gang finds loads of LOTR adventure - with a few other pop culture-related escapades thrown in. They encounter Entish truckers; daunting forests, Mist Marsh and Cahadras-like ordeals; a Rivendellish compound; a paint ball battle to rival the battles of Helm's Deep and Gondor; and a Mines of Moria chase through a convention center. There's even a dumpster incident reminiscent of the trash monster encounter in Star Wars and a tangle with a Rambo-styled warrior. |
