IASMINA SZABO filmmaker
director in progress. documenting every frame of it.
I started at 16, posting a YouTube tutorial on how to draw a kitchen using one-point perspective. The perspective was wrong. The video got half a million views.
People don't connect with perfection. They connect with realness.
My story
my goal is to make something tingle in your chest
I grew up feeling invisible. Lonely as a kid, isolated as an adult, more times than I'd like to admit.
Film became the thing that said: you exist. And so do the feelings you can't explain.
I didn't go to film school. I stole art like an artist - got obsessed with Tim Burton, Korean dramas, indie psychological films (weird combo, I know).
I fell in love with tension, silence and the small details that hit you somewhere you didn't expect.
I started making short films alone. I live my own life like a movie. It's where the fuel comes from.
I'm raw and I'm fresh. I'm still becoming the director I want to be. And I'm here, at every event, on every set, behind every frame, because I'm chasing connection.
With the work. With the people who feel things deeply. With you, if you're still reading this.
People don't connect with perfection.
They connect with realness.
— what half a million views on a wrong perspective taught me at 16
My love for badminton
this wasn't part of the plan
It found me during a time I needed movement, discipline, and something that didn’t involve a screen.
Now? I train several times a week, lead a university club, and play with both casuals and professionals - not to go pro, but to push myself like one.
It’s not just a hobby. It’s how I stay grounded, healthy, and sharp - in body and mind. 🏸
I don’t want to be the best player in the world. I just want to be my best: fast, focused, and fearless.
