About this listen
What happens when you leave everything behind to start over as a freelancer in a new country?
In this episode, we sit down with documentary filmmaker Balazs Horvath, who left his life as a punk rock musician and lawyer in Budapest to rebuild his creative career in Vancouver from scratch. We talk about working construction to afford his first camera, finding community through online courses, and the cultural shock of Canadian work culture, plus what it really takes to transition from immigrant outsider to trusted creative collaborator.
We also explore Balazs' current passion projects documenting fascinating Vancouver characters like community hero Leona Green and the nomadic "Dirty Kids" street performer subculture, and how he finds stories worth telling.
Plus: Would You Rather, creative tools, and why being genuinely kind matters more than perfect work in Canada.
