INTRODUCTION

Hi there! My name is József Gallai, writer and co-director of an upcoming horror/drama/found-footage film entitled A GUIDEBOOK TO KILLING YOUR EX. My frequent collaborators are Gergő Elekes, director of internationally acknowledged short drama BLUE DREAM and Sándor Gál, director of award winner short film MOVE ON.

A Guidebook to Killing Your Ex - isn't that something we all need sometimes? And for those of us tired of reading, our team is ready to make a film out of it. All we need at this stage is some help to complete it to be as perfect as possible.

"Guidebook" is a  Hungarian/US independent feature horror film created by Elekes Pictures and Rovar Pictures after their horror features BODOM and MOTH.
