I'm a director / animator from Budapest Hungary who broadens the spectrum of horror and science fiction cinema by creating indie movies with unique visual direction and thought provoking subjects.
Director, writer, animator Demeter Lorant, born in Hungary, 1982, began his career in 1999 when made his first amateur short horror film called Picnic which was followed by a string of short films. In 2003 he made his first ’professional’ short film called Lag which got the award for best editing at The New York Short Film Festival. Lag was followed by two self financed shorts, the black and white Royal Flush and Urine, both explorations into more abstract horror territory.
In 2005 he started developing a feature film project called Block-66, sadly after two years of pre production the project died and the script was never realised. After that Lorant ventured more into making animations, directed more than 50 music videos mainly for indie bands and he started to develop his skills as a projection mapping artist. In 2010 he founded Full Screen Studio which became one of the leading companies in producing visual content for events and creating projection mapping projects in Hungary.
In 2015 he finally found his way back to making horror related films, the first being Lucky Girl, an exploration into 70’s Explotation Cinema and French New Wave Extremism. His next short was Possessed by Aliens in 2020, a more light hearted, family friendly science fiction short about a boy who has to spend a week with his grandmother, what he doesn’t know is that she is possessed by aliens. The short film was very well received, it was officially selected by more than 40 festivals around the world and received many awards.
