Director Biography - Ovidiu Cosmin

As a first-time filmmaker, I tried to capture tiny bits of what it means to see a former-communist country through the eyes of a curious teenager. Having looked into lots of stories and cases of women being abused, raped or even murdered in Romania, it seemed only natural to explore a current national and international emergency regarding human rights and equality in a short film.
