Evelin Toth

An import from Hungary, Evelin has been a student of film and TV studies and production in Glasgow, keen on improving both her writing and filmmaking skills. A huge fan of the SciFi and comic book genres (willing to fight anyone who says comic book films are not a genre), her favourite areas of interests are film and TV narratives and adaptations. She enjoys out-of-the-box plot twists, unusual solutions and most importantly seeing more and more diversity of all kinds on screen. Her favourite film is not a question she likes answering, but she has a soft spot for Nineties gems such as Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King or The Big Lebowski. She is also a huge devotee of Star Trek, and nowadays, of Brooklyn 99, a refreshing presence on the small screen.

  • War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017)
