We’re a Budapest film studio of creatives, editors, animators and VFX/3D artists, working with a strong roster of directors.

AI is one more tool in our hands to make content you can’t look away from.

Got a brief? We’ll run with it.
Got a hunch? We’ll develop it.
AI does the heavy lifting, we do the heavy thinking.

let's talk.

Creative development +

The people who develop the idea are the same people who make it, so nothing gets lost in a handover. Our in-house directors lead the creative from day one and make sure the final grade is as sharp as the first sketch.

Bring a finished concept, or a thought you can’t quite picture yet. We don’t just execute ideas, we help you find the right shape for them.

Workflows +

Hybrid is how we work. Live-action plates, hand-drawn characters, 3D previz, VFX, editing, sound design and AI, all in one timeline.

Tools and people aim at the same thing: films that take your breath away.

We know it worked when no one asks which parts were AI.
