Inside the Budapest Hotel Room: The First Meeting Between Timea Nera and Pierre Woodman
Budapest in April has a certain softness to it. The Danube carries the early warmth of spring, cafés fill with afternoon chatter, and the city’s historic hotels host travelers from every corner of Europe. On April 21, 1997, one such hotel room served as a temporary casting studio for Pierre Woodman, who was traveling through Central Europe searching for new faces.
The room was simple: a small sofa, a camera on a tripod, a window letting in pale daylight. Woodman, already known for his direct and conversational casting style, welcomed the young Hungarian actress with his usual mixture of professionalism and curiosity.
Timea entered the room with a careful smile.
“Hello,” she said, glancing briefly at the camera before looking back at the director.
Woodman leaned forward in his chair.
“Hello. Please, come in. What is your name?”
“My name is Timea,” she replied. “Timea Nera.”
“Timea Nera,” he repeated slowly. “That is a beautiful name. Are you from Budapest?”
“Yes,” she nodded. “I live here.”
Woodman gestured toward the chair opposite him.
“Sit down, relax. This is not an exam. We talk first, we understand each other. That is how I work.”
Timea laughed softly and took a seat.
“I was a little nervous,” she admitted.
“That is normal,” Woodman replied. “Everyone is nervous the first time. But you will see, it becomes easy.”
The early part of the casting was conversational, something Woodman often emphasized. He liked to understand the personality of the actress before anything else.
“So tell me,” he continued, adjusting the camera slightly, “how old are you?”
“Twenty-one.”
“And what do you do normally?”
“I work in a clothing shop,” Timea said. “But I also study languages.”
Woodman raised an eyebrow.
“Languages? Which ones?”
“English and a little German.”
“Very good,” he smiled. “This helps when you travel.”
Timea tilted her head slightly.
“You think I would travel?”
“If things go well,” Woodman replied calmly, “many opportunities open.”
The conversation moved naturally from personal background to the reason she had come to the casting. Timea explained that she had heard about the audition through a friend who knew someone connected to the production.
“I was curious,” she admitted. “I wanted to see how it works.”
Woodman nodded thoughtfully.
“Curiosity is often the beginning of interesting careers.”

The Casting Conversation: Confidence, Curiosity, and Honest Questions
As the camera rolled, the discussion became a little more focused on the industry itself. Woodman’s approach was always to ask direct questions while keeping the atmosphere relaxed.
“Tell me honestly,” he said, folding his hands. “Why did you decide to come here today?”
Timea thought for a moment before answering.
“I wanted to try something different,” she said. “My life is very normal. Work, home, work again. I wanted an adventure.”
Woodman smiled slightly.
“Yes,” he said. “Many girls say the same thing. But adventure can mean different things. For you, what does it mean?”
Timea leaned forward.
“To experience something new,” she said. “To meet people from other countries. To see what happens.”
Woodman nodded approvingly.
“I like honest answers.”
He pointed briefly toward the camera.
“This camera records everything, so viewers see the real person.”
Timea glanced at it again.
“That is a little scary.”
“Only at the beginning,” Woodman replied. “Then you forget it.”
Their dialogue continued in an almost interview-like rhythm.
“Do your friends know you are here today?” Woodman asked.
“One friend,” Timea said. “She told me I should try.”
“And your family?”
She shook her head with a small grin.
“Not yet.”
Woodman chuckled.
“Many parents learn these things later.”
The mood in the room remained light. The director asked about her hobbies, her interests, and how she imagined her future.
“What would you do if this becomes successful?” he asked.
Timea considered the question carefully.
“I would like to travel,” she said. “Maybe Paris.”
Woodman laughed.
“Paris is always a good choice.”
Then came a moment of playful curiosity from the actress herself.
“Can I ask something?” Timea said.
“Of course.”
“You meet many girls like me?”
Woodman leaned back.
“Yes. Many.”
“And how do you remember them all?”
He smiled knowingly.
“Each one has something different.”
Timea raised an eyebrow.
“And what is different about me?”
Woodman paused just long enough to make the moment slightly dramatic.
“You are calm,” he said. “But also curious. That combination is interesting.”
Timea seemed pleased by the answer.
“Good,” she said. “I like interesting.”
A Memorable Audition in the Early Woodman Casting Era
As the casting progressed, the conversation continued to shape the tone of the session. Woodman’s method often relied on making the actress feel comfortable enough to reveal her personality.
He asked Timea about her ambitions again, but this time with more focus.
“If you start working in films,” he said, “you must be confident. Are you confident?”
Timea nodded slowly.
“I think so.”
“But confidence comes from experience,” he added.
“Then maybe today is the beginning of experience,” she replied with a playful smile.
Woodman laughed.
“I like that answer.”
At one point, the director turned slightly toward the camera as if addressing future viewers.
“This is what I enjoy about casting in Eastern Europe,” he said. “You find natural personalities.”
Timea looked amused.
“So now I am an example?”
“Yes,” Woodman replied. “You are.”
The discussion also touched on Budapest itself.
“Do you like living here?” Woodman asked.
“Yes, very much,” she said. “It is beautiful.”
“I agree,” he said. “But sometimes people must leave their city to discover new things.”
Timea nodded thoughtfully.
“That is true.”
She paused before asking another question.
“If I travel for filming, will it be difficult?”
Woodman answered calmly.
“It can be exciting. Sometimes tiring. But always interesting.”
Timea laughed.
“Everything interesting seems to be a little tiring.”
“Exactly,” he replied.
By the end of the session, the initial nervousness had disappeared entirely. The conversation had transformed into something closer to friendly banter.
“Well, Timea,” Woodman said, glancing briefly at his notes, “I think today we learned a little about each other.”
“I think so too,” she replied.
“Do you feel comfortable now?”
“Yes,” she said confidently.
“That is important.”
Timea stood up as the casting wrapped up.
“So what happens next?” she asked.
Woodman smiled in that characteristic way that kept things slightly mysterious.
“We see what the future brings.”
She laughed.
“That sounds like a movie line.”
“Maybe,” he said. “But sometimes movies start exactly like this.”
As Timea left the room, the Budapest afternoon sunlight still pouring through the window, it was clear that the casting had captured something more than just a routine audition. It was a snapshot of a moment—an encounter between a curious young Hungarian woman and a director known for discovering personalities as much as performers.
For fans of the Woodman casting archives, sessions like this remain fascinating because they reveal the human side of the process. Long before lights, sets, and finished productions, there is simply a room, a camera, and a conversation.
And on April 21, 1997, that conversation belonged to Timea Nera.
