During a 25-year career, I have achieved artistic and critical success on over 40 productions. My film, television, video, and theater projects have won awards and praise worldwide. Critics have referred to my “hallmark” work with the moving image as “stunning, remarkable and compelling.”
Almost as important as my artistic talents is my business acumen and post-production facility I founded 23 years ago. In addition, my experiences filming or producing around the world led me to create CULTURESonFILM, a nonprofit organization committed to diffuse hatred, conflict and misunderstandings created by a country’s nationalism, politics, timeless feuds and superstitions. CULTURESonFILM promotes tolerance and acceptance of cultures around the world.
Born and raised in Communist Romania, until fleeing the country in 1980, I speak English, Spanish, Romanian and Hungarian fluently.
