FBI International
1st Assistant Director
"Our production was based in Budapest, but over the course of the series we also filmed in 13 other countries. Each time, Zsolt managed the challenging task of coordinating both our core Budapest crew and the local crews in whichever country we were filming. This was no small feat, yet every shoot—no matter the location—ran smoothly and without a hitch.
Zsolt’s scheduling skills are exceptional. He runs the set with calm authority, complete control, and great persuasion—always treating everyone with the utmost respect. Because of his professionalism and deep understanding of each crew member’s responsibilities, he brings out the very best in everyone. His knowledge and preparation allow the set to run with remarkable efficiency; I never felt I was waiting on anything because he was always one step ahead.
Creatively, Zsolt is an excellent collaborator. He offers valuable input on locations, blocking, and logistical solutions, and he’s someone I can always count on to bounce ideas off of. His tireless work ethic, both in prep and during the shoot, makes him an irreplaceable asset to any production.
Without hesitation, Zsolt would be my first call as 1st AD, no matter where in the world I was filming."
