Zsófia Szemerédy
Founder, Managing Director / Sustainability Manager
Zsófia started working in film and TV before reaching her twenties. Always striving for freedom and creativity, she became a freelancer and entrepreneur early on. Her career began in the UK film industry, where she worked with BAFTA albert, eOne, Premier PR, and Picturehouse Entertainment, gaining insight into nearly every aspect of the film chain—from PR and sales to script development and festival strategy.
After completing her master’s degree at the prestigious National Film and Television School, she discovered her passion: merging storytelling and filmmaking with sustainability. She later co-founded Green Eyes Production (2021–2025) and launched the successful Indie Film Distribution Summit, building on her experience across both mainstream and independent sectors.
Zsófia’s unwavering dedication to film fuels (with clean energy) her problem-solving mindset and her mission to harmonise sustainability with the cinematic world. She avidly explores sci-fi—drawn to its (un)sustainable future scenarios—historical dramas, and fantasy. Working across the UK and European film industries, she is most often found discussing stories over coffee in London or Budapest.
Zsófia Szemerédy has worked as a sustainability manager and consultant on a range of projects, including Alien: Romulus, Hijack, Lee, Poor Things, Dune: Prophecy, Moon Knight, Jack Ryan, and more.

With a master’s degree in film, production design, and sustainability, she’s on a mission to mix her love for film with her passion for the environment—because who says saving the planet can’t be cool? From capturing the beauty of nature in all its forms to reviewing films through a sustainable lens, Margot dives into how the industry can be greener. But wait, there’s more! She’s also an eco-cosplay wizard, crafting jaw-dropping costumes from upcycled materials that prove style can be sustainable. Whether behind the camera or in costume, Margot is all about telling stories that spark change, spread love, and inspire others to make the world a more sustainable and loving place.
Speaking of stories—when it comes to her favourite film, it has to be Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, where the epic world of ornithopters, stillsuits, and spice takes centre stage.
