Growing up in the loud and vibrant city of Paris to artist parents, Béla had creative ambitions from a young age. He rebelled against conformity, forsaking school and diving head first into the world of radioplays and films. In 2010, he enrolled in the prestigious Vienna Film Academy and flourished under the tutelage of greats such as Michael Haneke and Abbas Kiarostami. His shorts (Angst, Percht, Vanishing Point) garnered international recognition winning numereous prizes (Bristol Immersive Grand Prix, Austin Arthouse Aronovsky Award,  Satis Expo Best Fiction, LA Crime and Horror Best Film, Vienna Filmball Young Talent i.o.). As his artistry matured, he continued to challenge himself by taking on roles in front of the camera and working as the narrator with the closing words in Martin Scorsese’s Silence. He now lives in New York City continuing to hone his craft as a filmmaker and storyteller.
