Disturbing Cinema

Disturbing Cinema: Was there a particular event or point in time that sparked your desire to pursue a career as an actor & filmmaker?  Adrian Țofei: It  was when I caught a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey on TV as a teenager. I remember instantly having shivers down my spine, it was for the first time I understood filmmaking as a powerful art form.  Disturbing Cinema: What inspired you of the idea of Be My Cat: A Film For Anne?  Adrian Țofei: At  the end of my acting masters studies I did a one-man-show called The Monster which went to numerous festivals in Romania, about a psycho obsessed with an actress and having some issues with his sister's cat. The character I was playing there had this paradoxical combination of vulnerability and being dangerous, I remember audiences being super impressed at the end of one of the performances, so I thought of bringing this to a much wider global audience, not just a couple of people in an art pub or indie theatre....
