We reached out to a dozen filmmakers who had done something cool in the past year, and we asked them about their successes, failures and movie experiences in 2008, and their desires, obsessions and plans for 2009. Kamilla Fátyol played Zoltán Mucsi's angel in the film Tableau, which was pulled down by most critics, ignored by the audience, but we loved it very much. The young actress is a full-time member of the Maladype Theatre, who recently moved to the Thalia and is working herself to death: she has eight more performances this month alone.
