My portraits made by my father in the same place, 10 years difference (2004-2014),
when I first touched a video-camera and after I graduated cinema studies.
This is one of my deepest and long-lasting love.

I am a Romanian freelance filmmaker, cinematographer and multimedia artist, with a focus on social impact.
I finished the grade school at UBB (FTT), department of Cinematography, Photography and Media in Cluj-Napoca (RO) where I’ve gained a multicultural academic background by having a double scholarship experience in South Korea and Turkey. During my studies at the Master of Photography and Dynamic Image at UNARTE Bucharest (RO) I had another scholarship in Valencia (SP).
In my films, I explore thematic like death, family and relationships with a deep interest of showing both visible and invisible effect of time on our lives etc. One of my previous documentary films called As You Like It is about people choosing or changing the picture for their own gravestone and it was officially selected in over 40 festivals around the world festivals like: Karlovy Vary, DOK Leipzig, TIFF, Astra etc, being awarded for: best image, best social documentary, public prize and best short film.
I have a great interest in both linear and nonlinear visual storytelling, like interactive experiences, cine-performance, video installation. I developed different multimedia project, like 4Generations Women - Romania (2017), 4Generations Women - Spain (2017), Skype Virtual Installation (2015) and Site Under Construction (co-creation for the Romanian Pavilion in Venice Biennale 2014).
I had many highly improving experiences as resident artist in France, Sweden and Italy. I was part of different workshops around the world, like: Structural Constellation Workshop (AU, CH); EsoDoc - European Social Docu (NO, IT); iFLab - Interactive Factual Lab (BE, DE); Dok Tank (CZ), Aristoteles (RO), Storydoc (GR, DE), Nisimasa (RO), Interaction Film Camp (RS), Transylvania Talent Lab (RO) etc.
