This dream was shaped by a journey that began in Los Angeles and grew stronger through decades spent in Hungary, where I am now based in Budapest. My path through music, commercials, reality television, and documentary work has always been guided by a commitment to telling stories that matter. Today, that journey begins with a project deeply personal to me, a feature documentary built from my father’s archive.

My father was a musician with the foresight to step into filmmaking at a time when most artists were focused only on the stage. He created a production company that produced some of the band’s earliest music videos and he collected an extraordinary archive of visual material. Much of it was captured on 16mm and 35mm film, along with Beta and Super 8 formats that reflect the technology of the 1970s and 1980s. His band shared a stage with Jimi Hendrix and shared unforgettable moments with cultural icons like Bob Marley and Jim Morrison. This year the band was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognition of their lasting cultural impact. The material he preserved is a one-of-a-kind window into that era, and it deserves to be presented at the highest level of filmmaking. This project is not only about music history, it is about legacy, vision, and the power of creativity to shape generations.

Budapest and Central Europe have, for decades, been known as premier locations for international filmmaking. Yet too often the productions that come here leave behind little more than temporary work. The creative and financial value travels elsewhere. My goal is to change that by creating a path where films are not only made here but where the voices, scripts, and creative talent of the region are elevated and recognized on the world stage.

I am seeking investors who see the opportunity in bringing this story to life and in building momentum for future projects. Those who join will not only help make a groundbreaking documentary, they will also help open doors for filmmakers across Hollywood and Central Europe. The mission is to connect capital with creativity, move projects from script to completion, and deliver films that stand as cultural milestones and global products. Beginning with my father’s legacy and continuing with the voices of this region, the goal is to create lasting value for audiences, investors, and creators alike.
