Among the shorts nominated for Academy Awards this year is a Hungarian entry by Geza M. Toth. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1494496/Maestro is a 5-minute animated short as the maestro sits in front of a dressing room mirror and prepares for his show.
Toth is a Hungarian artist and lecturer in the Animation Department at the Hungarian University of Art and Design.
He’s screened at more than 50 festivals and is working on a film adaptation of Bela Bartok’s "Bluebeard’s Castle".
