Welcome to my digital space. Explore my foundation, film career, current focus, and latest dispatches.
Professionally unemployable since 2005.
Discover the origins and the foundation of my career and creative journey.
Born in 1979 (Xennial) Budapest, Hungary (Eastern Europe), son of an aeroplane mechanic dad and a quietly disillusioned, loving mum. Grew up in a suburban neighbourhood, running wild with friends, making cherished memories. My art teacher at elementarry school (with school radio, and even tv!) thought me film and photography during my final years, and the determination to get infinite whatever in PC games, coupled with a few dorky computer summer camps, and lessons from the members of our flopy distributed e-mag thought me the basics of hardware and software.
Working as a cabinetmaker (interrupted by a year of compulsory army service). Woodwork physically built me and my understanding of structure, precision, and discipline, while long deliberative discussions spent with friends over countless nights exersized and opened my mind.
Cabinetmaking took me from Hungary to Germany in 2001, and then all the way to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in 2003. After few years of working woodworking workshops, I eventually had a chance to learn and become a CNC programmer when my workplace bought one.
With my additional CNC programming skills I was employed by Fletcher Building to work on the deployment of their Design-to-Manucacture sollution connecting interior design data into actual factory and machine usable data. For example connecting Mitre 10 (hardware store) drag and drop design suits to factory suppliers. At the same time my innovations at work enabled me to have more free time to research world history and religion from multiple angles, read scientific papers, write short novells and various short film scripts, and also start making them (see my '15 years of film' page).
"While working under my management at the IT Bureau between 2005 and 2008, Gabor's creative innovation and product application to the trade through the software products freed up substantial amount of time for us and our clients." Zalman Paris, Fletcher Building
Ballancing having children ❤️, switching to full-time videography 🎥 (assisting on music video shoots and filming DSLR weddings) and our move to Australia.
While filming and editing weddings every week and raising children, our family contributed to the 'Life in a Day' documentary, gaining us an IMDb credit

While continuing to film and edit weddings and raising children, I turned some of my focus on music video production via Buyah Media.
Expanded my own portfolio with diverse corporate and commercial projects fully produced by me, at times hiring other talented creatives from my industry like in the examples bellow where I worked together with two of the industries best in those good old innocent days.
After thinkering with lots of startup ideas between 2012 and 2015, even running a wedding video editing studio in the Philippines for a while, one of my ideas I took to a 3 day startup bootcamp organised by the University of Queensland and got sellected as one of the 5 company cohort of their business accelerator progrem 'iLab' for 2016 from over 250 participants.

Eventually I've decided to pivot away from producing videos for music and started a vlog and `My Doco Club` which was the R&D for INSPIREFLIX, producing it's first 15 films.
