1st Grade Movie Set Field Trip

Katie's classmate Mate's dad is director Herendi Gábor. He invited the class to come and check out the set for his new film Valami Amerika 2 (apparently the first one, which he also wrote, directed & produced, was a big hit over here).


The kids got to see some scenes being filmed, got a chance to talk to the Director as well as the American actress Lucia Brawley and some Hungarian actor (who told us that he is a very famous Hungarian actor and we may remember him as one of the extras from "Seven Years in Tibet").


Despite attempts by one of the Hungarian kid's mom to explain it to me, I have no idea what the movie is about other than that there are 3 brothers and Ms. Brawley plays a choreographer. Sounds like a winner.

A very interesting morning. The kids seemed to enjoy it. I think they were also a little bit proud that they were the only class that got to go on a field trip.
