Romania Director, scriptwriter The multi-award-winning director Bogdan Mureșanu has moved among the literary, advertising and now cinematic worlds with consistent success. He produced, wrote and directed his first short film, Tuns Ras Si Frezat (Half Shaved), in 2012. The film received the Audience Award at the ANONIMUL International Independent Film Festival (Romania) and was selected at many festivals around the world (Montreal, Cinequest, Cleveland, Reykjavik, York, Oaxaca, Maremetraggio, Lille, Reggio). In 2016, Bogdan made two new shorts: Spid and Negruzzi 14, the latter of which was shown at the National Museum of Art of Romania in Bucharest. That same year, he co-wrote the script of the short film Opinci, My Father Shoes with the British-Romanian directors Anton and Damian Groves. The film, which fuses several animation techniques, was selected at Annecy and won the CANAL+ Family Coup de coeur award at Clermont-Ferrand in 2019.
