Hello! I'm Dóra, a writer-director-educator.
I am affiliated with sdc, ifta and the Young Vic's Creators Program and I'm a voting member of Film Independent (Spirit Awards). WITH MY TEAM, WE OFFER VIDEO SERVICES in New York and Budapest. See samples of our work here.
My Story
I've honed my skills in media and international communications at the Metropolitan University Budapest and filmmaking at the New York Film Academy in Florence and New York. Additionally, I trained in theatre and film at LSTFI, New York. I have also done courses in Children's Human Rights (University of Geneva), and trainings in Leadership (Cazalla Intercultural, Spain) and Inclusion (Council of Europe, France).
Over the past six years, my artistic journey as a writer-director has taken me to Italy, Hungary, and the USA. During this time, I've directed an array of projects, from musicals and devised theatre pieces to Off-Broadway productions, a touring show, commercials, image and promotional videos, music videos, and short films. You can explore some of my creative projects right here.
My work has earned recognition at festivals like the Paris Film Awards, Sidewalk Film Festival, Portland Comedy Film Festival, and California Women's Film Festival. I have been featured in publications including CanvasRebel, Glamour and Index. For further press releases click here.
As a writer, I have worked on screenplays, research papers, interviews, reviews and articles. I have been contributing to the work of magazines such as Marie Claire, MovieWeb, The Immigrant Managazine and Grand Prix 247. I am the head writer of the film column at Art Here Art Now.

In 2022, I ventured into children's literature with the release of my first book, "Magical Meadows: Rhymes and Mindfulness Exercises." My black and white photography exhibit, Nostalgia, was on display in Edmonton from March 2023 to June 2023.
​
Beyond my artistic pursuits, I wholeheartedly support the UN's Plant-for-the-Planet initiative—a global movement dedicated to restoring forest ecosystems to combat the pressing issues of climate change and biodiversity loss. I frequently volunteer with UNICEF.
As a director, I was nominated for The Barbara Whitman Award and I have been selected as an artist in residency by Kulturscio's KulturFactory (August 2024, Italy)
