About me

View profile
I began my professional apprenticeship with architecture studies, translated over to the visual arts (painting, drawing, monumental art, photography) & accomplished a second Masters degree in "Cinematography & film direction", at the National University of Theatre and Film - UNATC, in Bucharest, Romania. 
In my high school years in Paris I wanted to do theatre - acting & directing. I had been invited by Lucian Pintilie to take part in his rehearsals rehearsals @ Theatre de la Ville ( or Theatre du Chatelet) & played the role of Eugen Ionesco in "Le pont de l' Alma", on the stage of the Louis le grand high school, while a student there & rehearsed with amateur older students, in a director's guise, a play based on Proust's "A la recherche du temps perdu", parting from a scenario written by Joseph Losey. I am a scriptwriter as well, interested in directing film, but in acting, that I fell in love with, in my early teenage years. 
My father was a short film director and often, as a child, I was present in  the making of the film process. In the last period, I took part in several directing & acting master classes. True passions come back to life and ask you to take action, if they don't get to be accomplished in due time!
