His father, Károly Ujj Mészáros, was a plant breeder and assistant professor at the University of Agricultural Sciences in Keszthely . He completed his higher education between 1987 and 1992 at the Budapest University of Economics, majoring in foreign trade. His interest had already turned halfway through the film. In 1994, he shot his first short film ( Attila the Clown ) with the support of Balázs Béla Stúdió . In London, he attended the training of the London Drama School (STAR ​​TEK associates) and since 1999 he has worked as a freelance producer, making commercials and directing. With his films, he took part in many international and domestic festivals and won prizes. At the Hungarian Film Festival, for example , he won the main prize with his lyrical-absurd short film The Rubber Man , he received the jury's special prize for his experimental film The House , and in 2009, at the 40th film festival, he won Alena's Journey - which was praised at both the Sarajevo and Berlin film festivals - received the award for the best short film. In November 2011, his first theatrical production, András Maros' play Suspicious Movements , was presented at the Hungarian Theater in Pest , which ran for two years. And on September 14, 2018, the Centrál Színház will present Joannah Tincey's adaptation of Jane Austen : Pride and Prejudice, translated by György Baráthy, under the title Pride and Prejudice for two actors . In the production of his first feature film, Liza, the fox fairy, he received help from the Workshop of the Cinéfondation section of the Cannes festival . The basic idea of ​​the work was given by Zsolt Pozsgai's play Liselotte and the May, but at a Japanese film festival, the story was supplemented with the motif of the fox fairy. In the summer of 2012, he shot the film with the crew in forty-two days, which took three years from the preparation of the shooting to the completion of post-production. Eight years after the idea, it was released in February 2015. Since its premiere in Hungary, it has been played at film festivals around the world, at which it won many prestigious international awards, while in May 2015 it became the second most viewed film of the National Film Fund.
