Hungarian writer-director Kristóf Deák, who won an Academy Award for best live-action short, has started shooting his debut theatrical feature, “The Grandson.”
The coming-of-age drama, disguised as a crime thriller, with darkly comic undertones, will shoot for 40 days on location in Budapest. Nfi World Sales is handling global distribution, with an expected release date in autumn 2021.
The cast includes emerging actor Gergely Blahó, and Tamás Jordán, who appeared in Oscar nominated “On Body and Soul” (2018), as well as “Time Stands Still” (1981), “Sweet Emma,” and “Dear Böbe” (1992).
The film centers on quiet 28 year-old office manager Rudi, the “nice guy” everyone can count on. When his beloved grandpa falls victim to a particularly ruthless scam, his comfortable world is turned upside down. Pushed by guilt and a desire to bring justice to the criminals, Rudi starts his own investigation, descending into the world of petty crime – and finding peculiar allies along the way.

I wish I had the chance to interview more compatriot composers here, but fact is there are very few Hungarian film composers I could talk to. Adam Balazs is one of them - although he lives in Los Angeles, he recently completed his first score to a Hungarian movie: Szíven szúrt ország is a documentary about the murder of a handball player whose tragic death brought forward many unresolved issues within the country. In addition to this new documentary, Ádám's new movie The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations will have a soundtrack CD released pretty soon, which is a first for the composer (although several of his scores are available through download options). We discussed these and a number of other projects in the following interview:

Butterfly Effect: Revelation - the third film in the series that was launched in 2004 - gets an original score by Hungarian composer Adam Balazs. The film opens theatrically in the Us on January 9 as a part of the After Dark Horrorfest (also known as "8 Films to Die For") and tells the story about a young man who uses his power to time travel in order to solve the mystery of his girlfriend's death. Rachel Miner, Chris Carmack and Daniel Spink star in the film which is directed by Seth Grossman, for whom Balazs previously scored The Elephant King. The two first Butterfly Effect films carried scores composed by Michael Suby.
