production
Boutique sometimes seems like a dirty word, but small-scale creative projects are what Mindwax does best. For small to medium-sized productions, the most innovative fiction, insightful documentaries, and artful commercials, we can handle everything from location scouting to production design, local casting to post-production and grading using an exclusive network of handpicked and battle-tested professionals.
If you’re looking to shoot a big budget feature in Hungary, we would be happy to connect you with a well-fitting, well-established service team to bring your project to life.

strategy
Whatever stage your project is at in its development, it’s always good to have a sounding board for the inevitable hurdles along the way. Developing and pre-producing a film requires an impossible balancing of solid fundraising, creative brainstorming, and meticulous teambuilding. As production consultants, Mindwax can troubleshoot your production and help match you to the best resources in Hungary and beyond. As consultants, we’ve also had success helping secure MEDIA funding for both films and festivals.

distribution
If you build it, they will come? Unfortunately, in the crowded world of cinema, that’s very rarely the case. Dora has a strong track record of helping films make the leap to international festival acclaim. Managing a successful festival run and picking up a few awards along the way puts us into a great position to negotiate commercial and sales partnerships.

mentoring
In addition to producing a wide variety of films, Dora spends a portion of her time helping young, up-and-coming filmmakers develop their projects. She’s currently the Producer tutor for Midpoint Shorts. She’s previously lectured at the Hungarian University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) and Meetings of Young European Cinema in Sofia. She’s also been a jury member at Clermont Ferrand Film Festival. Recently, she’s also guided workshops at the Pustnik Screenwriters Residency and the Finno-Ugric Film Festival’s experimental filmmaking program. If your festival, training program, residency or development organisation would be interested in learning from Mindwax’s experience, please get in touch.
