Adrian Tofei’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Adrian Tofei was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rabbit enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. They’re popular, compassionate, sincere, and they like to avoid conflict and are sometimes seen as pushovers. Rabbits enjoy home and entertaining at home. Compatible with Goat or Pig.
Adrian Tofei is an acclaimed filmmaker and actor born on July 20, 1987 in Radauti, Romania. His father died when he was six, and his mother, Dorina Tofei, supported him watching movies from an early age.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) left a strong impression on Adrian as a teen, who began researching film history in his spare time. He went on to study acting (Ion Cojar's method) at Lower Danube University of Galati and continued with a master's degree in theatrical art at Spiru Haret University of Bucharest, all while directing, producing, writing and performing in various plays, most notably "The Monster", which went to multiple festivals.
In 2013 Adrian abandoned theatre, wrote the "Found Footage Manifesto" and plunged into filmmaking and film acting. He directed, produced, wrote and starred in Romania's first found footage horror feature film, Be My Cat: A Film for Anne (2015).
The movie went to numerous festivals and won multiple awards and critical acclaim, including Best Film at A Night of Horror Film Festival in Sydney and Best Actor for Adrian at Nashville Film Festival.
It was called "terrifying" by Austin Chronicle and "a new intelligent found footage film you need to see" by Blumhouse, got listed by Dread Central in "top 5 best horror movies of 2016", and holds a fresh score of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Adrian Tofei's filmmaking method consists of working for months on an alternative psychological reality for the actors including himself, partially living in character, so that when they start improvising, Adrian mainly needs to record the unfolding events and to make sure the improvisation goes in the right direction.
There is no script, only plot points. Adrian Tofei shoots tens of hours of footage guerrilla style and then he watches the footage like a documentary filmmaker would and creates the details of the story in post-production during the editing process.
This method of filmmaking can lead to incredibly creative and realistic results in terms of both acting and storytelling, but it's almost impossible to work in the system this way. Since there's no script, Adrian has no traditional ways to convince investors and production companies to finance his films, other than the success of his previous works.
Therefore he relies on crowdfunding and those who appreciate his films and trust his method.Adrian Tofei is also the author of the "Top 100 Horror & Fantasy Film Festivals" and "Top 100 International Film Festivals" lists, among other works, both appreciated and used by numerous filmmakers.
He has been married to actress and screenwriter Duru Yücel-Tofei since January 22, 2017, and they also became partners onscreen in the upcoming apocalyptic feature We Put the World to Sleep. The movie is the second part of Adrian Tofei's meta-cinema trilogy which also includes Be My Cat: A Film for Anne (2015) and Adrian's third movie, Dr.
Frankenstein, currently in development.
