DIRECTOR'S WORD
Working with Máté was such a rewarding experience. His creativity and instinct for visual storytelling brought so much depth to every scene, and his commitment to the craft was truly inspiring. As a director, it was enriching to collaborate with Papp — he has a way of making every shot feel alive and perfectly in tune with the story we wanted to tell.
