Since 2011 she is busy directing short films and TV shows, commissioned by HBO Europe and the Hungarian National TV and by CW USA. She worked on drama, fantasy, romcom and satire tv series, directed more than 70 episodes - taking the lead director's seat for 52 episodes. In 2017 she shot her first feature film "NYITVA/OPEN", a sexual dramedy on monogamy, which premiered in Montreal IFF in 2018, and arrived to Hungarian cinemas in October 2018.
