Discussion, Q&A, and Networking Mixer
Stop guessing how the "machine" works and start learning from the people running it.

Most actors see the final product. Very few understand the budgets and the cold logistics that decide which projects actually get made. We are pulling back the curtain on the hard realities of the Budapest film industry.
