Exclusive Interview with Filmmaker Sofia Laszlovszky <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Congratulations on being accepted at the prestigious\nInternational Filmmaker Festival of New York. Can you tell us about the film\nand the process of making it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you very much! I am really flattered that Chronosync is in the\nofficial selection for IFFNY 2019. My short film is a computer generated 2d\nanimation. As an independent animation project, my team was very small on this\nfilm. I worked with sound designer Zoltan Vadon and composer Zoltan Sostai and\nlast but not least my producer Zsombor Benyovszky. This small but powerful team\nhelped me get through the hardest moments during animation, atmosphere designing,\nmusic, editing and a whole bunch of unforeseeable obstacles that usually come\nup during production. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How did you go about casting for the film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\/A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What is the story about and how did you achieve it cinematically?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is\nbased on observations on the changing worldview of mankind and shows the weird\nconnection between different cultures through time and their worldview. All the\nscenes contain associations on myths, legends and scientific facts, which were\nin their time believed and known as reality. So the eternal urge to explain\nwhere we came from and how the universe works seems to be born with us. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is\nreality? Or is \u201creality\u201d just as fragile and varies just as much as every\nindividual\u2019s own view of existence?  And\nwhat if the whole existence isn\u2019t \u201creal\u201d in the way we imagine it? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were\nthe main background questions of the film. I collected these episodes of human\nhistory, which were inherited by all of us through collective knowledge and\ntried to convert them to an ongoing story, making it lifelike.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Will you be attending the IFFNY festival in New York in May?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately this time I am not attending, but I am working on my next\nanimation, so hopefully see you next year<\/em>J<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How long have you been making films and videos?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2008 I\nwork in the animation department. As an independent filmmaker I started my\ncareer in 2011. At that time I desperately believed that one day I will create\nmy own film. I am glad and thankful that it became a reality.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching good\nideas and converting them to the language of cinema is what I like the most. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What film was your directorial debut? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my\ndirectorial debut, I wanted to start with a non narrative independent film, to\nset the mood for the following films. <\/em>J<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What was the most important lesson you had to learn that has had a\npositive effect on your film? How did that lesson happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardest\nlesson is to keep the love and commitment in your heart. Like when you have an\nidea but the circumstances force you to make compromises. In these situations I\nhave learnt that only love and honesty help you to realize that there is no\nspace for compromise. If you have a good idea, take the good advices, but don\u2019t\nlet anybody brake your belief that you can do it. Take the risk and make it in\nyour own way. On the other hand if it is not meant for you, you also have to\nlet it go, so it is never easy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> Is it harder to get started or to keep\ngoing? What was the particular thing that you had to conquer to do either?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, both are hard at some points, for me the start wasn\u2019t easy. I\ndidn\u2019t have any connections in film, so I had to make the first steps on my\nown.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am kind of a hard working person obsessed with my projects, so when\nthe wheels started turning and I got the opportunity to show myself and my\nideas, things rolled on more fluently. I was also definitely supported by my\nfamily and loved ones.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> How has your style evolved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was influenced by many mediums and artists. As a director I love David\nLynch, Andrej Tarkovszkij, Stanley Kubrick, Federico Fellini. Their style is so\navant-garde and \u201cdancing on the border like\u201d, I felt that I want to do the\nsame: I want to dance on the borders!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So my style is based on the decadent artists of the avant-garde. I love\nbasically the whole 20th<\/sup> century, with it\u2019s changing art and\nlifestyle. This has carved a huge mark on my style I think. My main interest is\nabout the alternate dimensions, dreams, mysteries and their connection to\n\u201creality\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What has been your personal key to success? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First it is\nimportant to define success. For me it is a feeling when I am able to do what I\nenjoy the most, and I can share it with people. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to\nsuccess for me is understanding the value of a good personal talk or being able\nto catch a good idea, transform it and share it. Keeping awake the love of the\nprocess of filmmaking is also very important. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as I said\nbefore I am a hard worker always into something, and I just never give up\nloving what I do, this is my key to \u201csuccess\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam:<\/strong> What are you thinking about doing next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am working\non a new script now, for a new animation short. It will be a mysterious story\nabout a day when everything went wrong. I am pretty much into the atmosphere\nnow. I would like to start the making early summer, hopefully.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
