Work-Life Balance in the Creative World

By Events, Interview

Join us for an inspiring evening on April 17 organized by Art/Net/Wrk, where we’ll dive into the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance in the entertainment industry. Can we truly find harmony between career ambition and personal well-being? How do we recognize when stress is pushing us toward burnout, and what can we do about it?

Taking part in the discussion will be Márk Molnár (Art Director, Concept Artist), Éva Kedves (Concept Artist), and Miklós Ligeti (Illustrator, Concept Artist), sharing their experiences and thoughts on how to navigate a creative career without losing yourself in the process. The conversation will be moderated by Kiss Márton Gyula (Illustrator, Concept Artist), guiding the discussion toward practical insights and real-life experiences.

Grab a coffee, take a seat, and let’s talk about what it really takes to stay balanced in a demanding industry. The conversation starts at 8:00 PM on April 17 at Inga Kultúrkávézó, Budapest (Tűzoltó utca 2). We look forward to seeing you there!

The Power of Imagination: Concept Art in Filmmaking

By Events, Interview

We’re honored to be hosting a conversation about one of our favorite topics—concept art in filmmaking—thanks to the generous invitation from the Hungarian National Film Institute!
Concept design is where a film’s visual magic begins. It’s the first step in bringing a director’s vision to life and a crucial tool for storytelling. At this event, we’ll explore how concept art helps shape cinematic worlds, streamline production, and enhance creative decision-making.
If you’re a filmmaker, production designer, animator, or just love the art of storytelling, come and join us for this exciting discussion!

Please note: This event will be held in Hungarian and will take place in person at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.

Date: February 13, 2025 | 18:00
