Pieces of a Woman is a film directed by Kornel Mundruczo, from a screenplay by Kata Weber. It stars Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, and Ellen Burstyn. Martin Scorsese serves as one of the executive producers. The film had its world premiere at the 77th Venice International Film Festival, where Kirby won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. The film was later released on Netflix. We have been working closely with Kornel, Kata and executive producer, Viktoria Petranyi (Proton Cinema) on the communication of the project in close collaboration with the international publicists.

Film director Kornel Mundruczo is not a new name at Cannes film festival. His film Jupiter’s Moon (2017) was selected for the official competition of the prestigious event, celebrating the film’s depiction of a Syrian refugee trying to make his way into Hungary from Serbia along with his father and many other lost souls. It is a tale of cynicism and corruption, and one that is worthy of its recognition. We planned and executed the communications campaign for the film, working locally in Cannes during the film festival as part of an international team. Zerocom saw to it that a press screening was held in Budapest, too, while also handling the film’s launch campaign that included a public display of levitation – crucial to the film’s concept – within the downtown city centre of Budapest.

The works of Gabor Reisz are considered cult films; his first direction had a huge impact on an entire generation. Being given the reins of the communication for his 2018 movie Bad Poems was an exciting honour, especially when the film was inspired by his own experiences in life, giving people a glimpse of the lives of thirty-something Hungarians looking for their own path. Bad Poems lived up to the expectations and fast became a “must-see”, winning multiple awards in Torino and Monte-Carlo Film Festivals. As part of a complex and carefully planned launch campaign, we took the press to the film’s set, launched the social media platforms and organised the press screenings.
