He was a photographer at the Hunnia Film Studio before moving to Berlin, where he produced his first film Beinliche Angelegenheit in 1928. He later moved to London where he worked as a journalist, then went back to Hungary in 1944 and made the avant-garde film Kétszer kettő, which was banned by the Arrow Cross Party and after the war by Hungarian courts, as one of its characters, László Szilassy, was accused of war crimes.
