Péter Vácz was born in Budapest, Hungary, to a glass designer father, in whose workshop he started tinkering as a child.
[7][8] Vácz graduated with BA and MA in animation, his diploma films, the first in 2010 the Patakiskola (Streamschool) and Nyuszi és Őz (Rabbit and Deer) in 2012.
[10] In 2014, Vácz was commissioned by Picasso Pictures, who had noted his Streamschool film, to create a music video for the song "All I'm Saying" by British band James.
In addition to his professional and artistic work, he started teaching animation practice and theory at his alma mater, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.
[20] More recent projects by Vácz include a psychedelic music video for Hungarian kids' band Szagos Hörigekkók,[21] the live-action short film Pillowface – chronicling a man's playful attempts to combat hotel-room loneliness[19] – and the semi-autobiographical animation project Noah's Tree.
