Andrea Taschler

Biography

A graduate of Academy of Theatre and Film Arts, Andrea Taschler has been working in the film industry since 2000. During a decade of collaboration with Hungarian cinema’s new generation and leading the production at the most important film studios of new talents like Katapult Film and Inforg Studio, she worked on award-winning internationally acclaimed films. From 2004 she worked as a freelance line producer on international productions, and in 2010 she launched Mirage Film Studio, a Budapest-based production company, now called Andromeda Films. A member of the European Film Academy, she is a graduate of EAVE 2012 and was selected for Producers on Move 2013. The company aims to produce narrative fiction and documentary projects to the highest possible standard, whilst creating a supportive and inspiring environment for filmmakers. By selecting the projects with extreme care, and working in close cooperation with the directors and the scriptwriters, the company intends to operate more as a creative workshop than a run-of-the-mill production company. As well as a strong focus on Hungarian filmmakers, we work with emerging talents beyond the borders, and we are looking for suitable content for both domestic and international audiences. We want to support filmmakers who possess original and distinctive or even radical cinematic vision and cutting edge, valiant, and innovative projects, which have the power to strengthen the diversity of cinema. From 2019 Andromeda Films opened a new branch in Casablanca, Morocco with the intention of focusing on African projects as well and creating a stronger bond with East-Europe.
