ABOUT

I’m Petra Pantyi, a director and screenwriter based in Budapest with an MA in Film Studies from ELTE University. I create stories that explore the complexities of human experience, blending personal and universal themes.

My short film My Breakfast Is Your Dinner was selected for festivals like Friss Hús and CineFest, recognized for its sensitive approach.

I currently develop my own projects and collaborate with Éclipse Film as a freelance director and associate producer. Recently, I contributed to the Netflix miniseries Eric, directing photographic materials for the series.

Here you’ll also find a selection of my creative work across film, photography, and theatre arts. I’m committed to crafting stories that move people and open new perspectives.
