Our team

Gusztav and I have worked together for about 6 years now, mixing scholarship, action and friendship.  So when we decided to go ahead with this project, it was about pulling in the group of people we want to work with and can trust, and mixing them all together.  The result is pretty international with a team from three continents, speaking 5-10 languages between us and a collective CV to die for.  It’s a luxury to have a team of 7 for a week’s project and one we’ll shamelessly abuse.

Rupesh and Namita have come with me from the UK, both with rich experience of community video making, training and facilitating,  and an interest in action research. We’re responsible for pulling the training side of things together, alongside G.

Gusztav has matched them with  a team of Hungarians: Zsuzsa is a local development manager and our liaison with the local community, and just happens to be married to him.  He’s also brought one of his students from Budapest,  Robi,  who will translate for those of us unfortunate enough not to share the working language of the week, Hungarian.  Finally, there’s Jani, who’s our technical director and an old hand at this now.  He’s the best sort of film-maker to have along: calm, willing and very competent.
