Budapest/Los Angeles – September 11, 2025 — Ionart Studios proudly announces the return of CEO Lili Révay after a short hiatus. Révay steps back into leadership at a pivotal moment for the company, as the studio aims to further strengthen its global relationships and scale to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry.

Ionart recently completed its first full-season episodic project with NCIS: Tony & Ziva on Paramount+, the feature film A Blind Bargain with Emmy Award-winning VFX Supervisor Alex Gitler working alongside fellow Emmy Award winner Mark A.J. Nazal as part of the Ionart team, and the sci-fi feature Afterburn, which stars Dave Bautista and Samuel L. Jackson.

In her return, Révay will work closely with Károly “Charlie” Seiner, who will assume the roles of Managing Director and local VFX Supervisor/Producer, while Mark A.J. Nazal will continue to lead global efforts from North America as Executive Producer and client-facing VFX Supervisor on high-profile projects.

This weekend, Révay will represent Ionart Studios in Los Angeles, where she will attend the 77th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards alongside Mark A.J. Nazal and meet with several of the company’s strategic partners throughout the week.

The leadership team is committed to growing Ionart’s capabilities with a focus on building a scalable, future-ready team capable of taking on larger and more complex projects, expanding partnerships with accomplished global collaborators to extend resources and expertise, and strengthening the artist community at Ionart’s Budapest headquarters to ensure a sustainable and creative environment.

“Returning to Ionart at such an exciting time feels both energizing and inspiring,” said Révay. “The projects we’ve recently completed showcase our world-class artistry and ability to collaborate on a global scale. I’m thrilled to help lead Ionart into its next phase of growth while continuing to nurture the creative heart of our studio in Budapest.”

Ionart Studios continues to cement its reputation as a trusted VFX partner for studios and filmmakers worldwide, delivering innovative solutions, cinematic artistry, and collaborative service across film, television, and streaming.
