"When you feel you can go no further consider taking just one more beautiful stride"- Zuzana
Zuzana Gedeon (she/her) is a director-actress-writer, who moved to America shortly after the revolution that took down East European regime. With an ABD and MS in Applied Math and another ABD in Computer Science, Zuzana managed to navigate the “sensible’ path of mathematician and a mother forging a career as a software developer. 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. Zuzana found 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. As a dual citizen with US and EU passports, Zuzana is always looking for opportunities to use her talents and skills to create a more harmonious world without iron walls.
