Refractara
Facing the death of the industrial society of Romania, a group of brick factory workers struggles to survive. Refractara factory is situated close to Valea Jiului, Romania, where the mining industry used to be thriving. But gradually, industries started to decline after 1990, and the brick factory was caught in this chain. With less and less order requests for bricks, the factory struggles to survive well enough to keep the brick production active. These are the stories of the workers who keep their community alive. But for how long?

Documentary film
I am a recent graduate of the Faculty of Theatre and Television Cluj Napoca, where I attended the Documentary Filmmaking Master’s program. My interest is both in traditional linear structures and in the newer interactive or transmedia formats. I strongly believe in visual storytelling that focuses on individual human stories to speak about greater issues or phenomena.
