SCENE 01 / NARRATIVE FILMS WEB SERIES
Narrative Films & Web Series
Digital storytelling and narrative content production throughout Hungary.
Narrative film and web series production creates scripted visual storytelling for digital distribution platforms. These productions combine cinematic storytelling techniques with the format flexibility of digital release, producing episodic or standalone content that reaches audiences through streaming services, social platforms, and dedicated channels.
We coordinate production support for narrative films and web series, matching crew and equipment to your project's creative ambitions and distribution platform. Our team manages logistics and resources efficiently, helping independent and digital-first productions achieve professional results within their format and budget parameters.

On Location
Mythberg Films, Laokoon Filmgroup, Proton Cinema, Inforg-M&M, KMH Film — the Hungarian indie production-house network that feeds Netflix Hungary, HBO Max, and the festival short circuit
The Hungarian indie-production scene is dense for a country of ten million. We work directly with the houses that drive it. Mythberg Films Budapest handles global co-productions and English-language indies. Laokoon Filmgroup (founded by Gábor Sipos and Gábor Rajna) produced László Nemes's Son of Saul and Sunset. Proton Cinema (Viktória Petrányi, Kornél Mundruczó's longtime producer) carries the Mundruczó slate including Pieces of a Woman and White God. Inforg-M&M Film (Mónika Mécs, András Muhi) anchors Bence Fliegauf's catalogue including Just the Wind. KMH Film Budapest handles auteur co-pros.
Here is how this works in practice. Filmtörténet Budapest and Hungarian Film Production round out the upper tier. For web series and digital-first work, the producer ecosystem extends to Show Hungary, MR Film Budapest, Filmpartners, and the boutique houses around the SZFE alumni network. HBO Max Hungary commissions Hungarian-language originals (Aranyélet was HBO Europe's first), Netflix Hungary has built slowly toward Magyar-language commissions. Plus YouTube and TikTok feed an active short-form creator economy headquartered in Budapest's 7th and 8th districts.
Here is the short of it. On the financing and rebates side, we structure indies and digital originals through NFI's 30 percent cash rebate (Europe's highest, no cap, layered with 7.5 percent uplift on non-Hungarian spend where applicable). Bilateral co-production treaties open extra funding pools. HU-FR, HU-DE, HU-AT, HU-IT, HU-CA, HU-IL, and HU-CN frameworks are all operational, with the European co-production convention covering broader EU partners. Cinefest Miskolc, Friss Hús Budapest Global Short Film Festival, Magyar Mozgókép Fesztivál Tihany, KAFF Kecskemét (animation), and the Hungarian Film Week (Magyar Filmszemle) anchor the domestic festival circuit.
Here is the breakdown. Cannes Critics' Week, Berlinale Generation, Locarno Pardi di domani, Sundance Shorts, and Clermont-Ferrand handle the global shorts pipeline. Crews scale to fit indie budgets. Single-camera Alexa Mini LF or Sony Venice 2 packages, lean grip-and-electric, location-only schedules avoiding the Korda and Origo stage rates. Post runs through smaller boutique houses (Filmtörténet post, Studio Mac Guffin, Plus 4 Stúdió) rather than the feature majors. ÁFA reverse-charge handling and NAV ATA carnet logistics ship as standard.
