Meanwhile she has been producing established Hungarian experimental filmmakers Péter Lichter and Bori Máté's feature length works since 2019. Their hybrid feature, Empty Horses (2019), premiered in Jihlava's Between The Seas competition, then was selected to IFFR's Deep Focus programme. Their horror essay anthology The Philosophy of Horror - A Symphony of Film Theory (2020) co-premiered between Torino and Cottbus, was on Sight & Sound's Best 2020 Essay Films list and was selected to IFFR's 2021 Summer edition.
