Summary I spent my first few years after high-school travelling all over Europe as a film journalist, covering festivals like Cannes, Transilvania IFF, Venice, Karlovy Vary and various others, indulging in as many film screenings as my eyes could stand, until I decided I would rather be behind the camera. I studied cinematography for 2 years at the National Drama & Film University (UNATC) in Bucharest, Romania and I am now an independent filmmaker/photographer happily exploring my visual fixations in both the moving and the still image.
