I grew up staying very close to the artistic process, paying a lot of interest in composition, image, creating characters, since my father is a painter (Eugen Bratfanof), the artistic environment influenced by deeply.
In 2000 I began to work in a small independent theatre in Bucharest and for 10 years I supported in various level the artistic process, as coordinator, PR officer, artistic consultant.
In 2011 I began working in the film industry as a Talent Scouter, discovering, little by little, the creative process behind a Casting Director's work.
Since 2014 I am proudly working independently as Casting Director for producers and directors I value artistically, always having in mind the huge potential of Romanian actors.
