Director Biography - Sorin Pavelesco

Following the success of his two first COVID-related short films, “Message To Future Generations” and “Hearts & Stripes”, which earned a combined total of over 50 International Film Awards (including 3 wins & 14 nominations on IMDB), Sorin Pavelesco was inspired to tackle the burning issues of climate change, global food security and how healthy farming practices can make all the difference today.

His previous experience as a multi award-winning Art Director in the Graphic Design industry and Music Producer (he owns his own recording studio and has released his own music as well as produced for other artists) enabled him to have total creative control over his first feature documentary film, "Farming Without Harming (The Power of Regenerative Agriculture)".

By writing, filming, editing, scoring and producing his own films, Sorin is able to fully express his artistic vision.
