He has been directing over three hundred music videos, commercials and cinematic, experimental multimedia initiatives, exhibited in contemporary galleries and museums in Budapest and London.

Career in writing[edit]
Fabricius published his first book in 2009.[5]
About Soft Neon Headshot (2009, Ulpius ház) [6]
"You may turn away when you see Soft Neon Headshot in the bookstore, but this is a seminal work in cultural history. It gives you an assessment about a subculture that, in the first decades of the 2000s, was highly influential on our collective conscious and our society as a whole. "(antropos.hu) [7]
Career in film[edit]
In 2010 he founded Otherside Stories, [8] a creative film company, which main aim is to define truth in pictures, whether documentary or fiction.
In 2010 he wrote and directed his first, well-received short, Grown Ups[citation needed] , that was premiered in Naoussa International Film Festival in Greece.
In 2012, his short, Bianca [9] , a social drama inspired by assassinations against gypsy families in Hungary that time, was premiered at 43rd Hungarian Film Festival.[10]
In 2014, his award-winning short, Skinner, was premiered at Toronto International Film Festival. In 2015 Skinner won Zoltán Huszárik Prize by Hungarian Media Fund.
Fabricius' first feature is currently in pre-production. The script was not only known and recommended by international professionals, but they also took part in its development. The experts themselves chose the script for many competitions and workshops, from hundreds or (in the case of Sundance) thousands of other international scripts.[11][11][12][13] They emphasized that the political psychiatry, as an institution, has never been shown in a feature film, this makes the film a first in international film history; the unusual subject makes the script an exciting, and particularly important one—this is supported by the fact that two of the European Union's programs, Creative Europe Media Sources2 and MIDPOINT also chose the script for their program, awarding it with a grant and inviting the writer-director to Berlin and Barcelona.[14][15]
The script was presented at the A-lister Karlovy Vary International Film Festival's 53. iteration (the best 15 scripts were selected from approximately 600). Fabricius' film was the only one that year to represent Hungary as a film plan.[16] The screenplay was awarded the "Best vision film in development" prize.[17][18][19]
