The Future of Film S5:EP8 | Luca Csathy (Hot Head, Comedy Under Pressure, Character-Driven Storytelling)

In Episode 8 of Season 5, host Tom Oliva catches up with 2021 AAHSFF alum Luca Csathy, writer and director of Hot Head, which won Best Comedy at the 2021 Festival for its sharp writing, dynamic pacing, and unforgettable character work.

Luca breaks down how a simple “what if” premise — robbing a convenience store during a heatwave — turned into a layered, unexpected character study. From performance under pressure to crafting situational humor with emotional stakes, Luca shares how he blends absurdity with vulnerability to create something genuinely entertaining and human.

The episode dives into comedic structure, shot selection, editing rhythm, and the kind of creative instinct that makes a short film resonate long after the credits roll.
