The White Box

Love, absence, projections, chemistry. In a Romanian town, around mid - 21 st century, different people take part (by themselves or in couples) in live experiences generated and influenced by their own subconscious, in virtual reality rooms. The company renting these holo-decks to the public is called The White Box. Cutia Albă (The White Box) was my first and only attempt to produce and direct a short feature animated film. It took me 6 years to make and in the end it came out 18 minutes long. I only like parts of it now, but I still look back at that experience as a daring and wonderful gift I gave myself by not giving up. The film features the music and sound design of Vlaicu Golcea and the voices of Romanian actors Coca Bloos, Nicoleta Lefter, Constantin Cojocaru, Daniel Popa, Laurențiu Bănescu, Florin Piersic Jr., Andrei Elek, Victoria Răileanu, Conrad Mericoffer and Irina Bucescu.
