Subject: LAST CALL! Alumni Hungary Webinar Series: Storytelling, what makes a good story Webinar by Oscarwinning director Kristóf Deák
Special Edition
Dear Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Holders,
You can still register till 8 November, Monday for our upcoming Alumni Hungary Webinar! Would you like to know how to tell a powerful story? Are you interested
in how an idea can reach worldwide success? On 10 November, at the next edition of the Alumni Hungary Webinar Series, we will take you behind the scenes of the
Oscarwinning Hungarian short film, Sing (Mindenki, 2016) with an exclusive presentation of the film’s director, Kristóf Deák.
Kristof Deak (1982, Budapest) is a Hungarian film director, screenwriter, film producer and editor who
created the short film Sing, which earned him the Oscar Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 89th
Academy Awards in 2017. He studied at the Hungarian University of Theatre and Film in Budapest (2003
2006) and worked in the industry as an editor before moving to London to study directing at the University
of Westminster’s MA programme. After winning the Oscar, his subsequent short film Best Game Ever also
went on to win several international awards. He is currently developing his first feature film, The Grandson
which will be released in early 2022.
In his presentation, Kristóf will walk the audience through his process of finding the core to a story worth telling and the meticulous process of unpacking characters
and plot that follows by using his Oscarwinning short film Sing as a case study. He will address topics such as:
How can I tell if my story will work? A brilliant filter to use.
What works in a film and what doesn’t?
Utilising archetypes and avoiding clichés
The logic of emotions
Raising stakes in your scenes
The two greatest enemies of a good story and how to steer clear of them
Rhythm and editing
