Creating stories about people who might not have all their ducks in a row.
If you take Taika Waititi, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, plus a couple other directors and toss them into a blender, you will get a fantastic sauce from which Zuzana gets her energy. This sort of protein packed drink will get any director going, and Zuzana has her own recipe. She is a creative artist, director, actor, writer, and a multi-hyphenate as needed. Personable, friendly, flexible, open minded, and grounded with unusual life, software, and film experience, with current and valid USA and EU passports.
Zuzana Gedeon has been member of Alliance of Women Directors, Women in Film, Women in Media, and Greenlight Women and is constantly working on improving her craft. She is ready for her next mountain to climb.
Zuzana Gedeon (she/her) is a director-actress-writer, who moved to America shortly after the revolution that took down the East European regime. With extensive knowledge of math and Computer Science, Zuzana managed to navigate the “sensible’ path of mathematician and a mother forging a career as a software developer.
However, after losing her daughter to a rare disease, Zuzana traveled to Kyoto, stumbled upon meditation, decided to pivot into arts and obtained an MFA in Science and Natural History Filmmaking.
Once she stepped foot into the world of film she found her happy place and positivity again by embracing “unreasonable” passions, returned to her creative roots, and pivoted into narrative filmmaking, just in time for reality to become stranger than fiction.
When 2020 stalled her progress, Zuzana decided to catch up on what directors usually do as kids: run around, act, and make no budget movies, filled with special effects. She expanded her education with directing, Unreal engine, scriptwriting and various acting methods.
Along the way she embraced her inner Yin and Yang, and loves to create films filled with people who may not have all the ducks in the row, but help shape the colorful tapestry of our communal existence.
Zuzana is always looking for opportunities to use her talents and skills to create a more harmonious world without iron walls.
