2020-12-04 00:38:38 +0000 UTC View PostI'be been asked numerous times for advices on filmmaking or how to break into the film industry.
My first advice: make your own film, regardless if you have no experience at all, or you're just a screenwriter or actor. Don't wait for opportunities, make your own opportunities!

Great news about Be My Cat's new DVD releases! Yes, there's going to be two of them, and quite different from each other:
- a self-release I am doing via Amazon, which will feature the current creepy poster by Terror Films (I'm grateful they allowed me to use it), improved sound compared to the DVD release from years ago, 12 minutes of nev...

After having my flights canceled again and again because of the pandemic, I decided to go by bus to Turkey to reunite with Duru (my wife and creative partner) after all these months of being stuck in different countries. A hell of a journey, changing multiple busses plus a local plane from my hometown Rădăuți (Romania) to ...

Here's a weird one and probably unexpected for most of you. When I was a teenager I discovered Britney Spears, more exactly Baby One More Time & Oops I Did It Again, and that was a big WOW for me.
