Work With Ray · Magyar Minute
Your Story. A New Audience.
I’m Ray Brown. I make videos and articles about Hungary’s people, places, and everyday life. Hire me to tell a new story, sponsor a series, or ask permission to use a published video.

Three Ways To Work Together
What Would You Like To Do?
Choose the option that fits. A short outline is enough to start.
Commission A Story
Put the people behind your business, place, or event on screen. I can create a short video, an interview, an article, or a combination.
We agree what I’ll make, where it will appear, and the price before work starts.
Sponsor A Series
Support a collection of stories about a subject that matters to your audience, such as food, culture, or places in Hungary.
Your support is clearly credited. Magyar Minute keeps its independent editorial voice.
License A Video
Want to use a published Magyar Minute video on your website, in a publication, or in a campaign? Tell me which story and how you want to use it.
We agree the permission, credit, and fee for your intended use.

How A Project Works
A Clear Brief. A Story With A Point Of View.
-
Share The Idea
Tell me about the subject, your audience, where the work will appear, and your timeframe.
-
Agree The Scope
We define the angle, formats, languages, deliverables, publication channels, and usage rights. You receive a quote before production begins.
-
Make And Deliver The Story
I develop the story through research, interviews, and production. Review stages, delivery dates, and publishing responsibilities are agreed in advance.
The Magyar Minute Approach
Supported Stories. Independent Voice.
Paid support is disclosed wherever the story is published. Sources and partners can flag factual errors; editorial judgment stays with Magyar Minute.
Payment funds the work. It does not guarantee praise, a favorable review, or a predetermined conclusion. We establish those expectations when we agree the brief.
Where The Subject Fits
Give The Story More Room.
A project can extend into a longer conversation or a relevant place for discovery, with each part scoped separately.
