director & photographer
now: Tromsø, Norway | next: Finland (early 2026)
Andie Szatmari tells stories through images — sometimes they move at 24 frames per second, sometimes they just hold still long enough to make you look twice.
Her filmmaking journey began in high school, where her early shorts quickly drew attention on the festival circuit. Her European debut came in Paris in 2017, followed by a series of international awards that established her as a fresh voice in independent film.
In the previous year, her short film swapID won Best Film in The Netherlands and received a Best Film nomination at Filmapalooza in Lisbon. That same year, swapID screened at the Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival, a milestone that highlighted her growing presence among emerging European directors.
Alongside her own work, Andie has collaborated with leading creative teams on productions for Netflix, NBCU, & Paramount+ among others, gaining firsthand experience with large-scale storytelling and industry-standard workflows. These collaborations shaped her visual instinct: cinematic, emotionally grounded, & built on precision.
That same instinct defines her photography: portraiture with the tone, texture, and tension of a film still. Each image feels like a story paused mid-frame.
Cinematic thinking, distilled into a single shot.
