I Used to Be an Artist (2025)

Through a combination of personal narration, conversations with fellow artists and Hungarian language classes, which the author attends in order to become a citizen of the European Union, the film questions the romanticized idea of ​​working for love and shows how doing art often means fighting against obstacles of the system, economic insecurity and self-doubt.
