    CLUJ-NAPOCA: Adrian Tofei’s feature film debut Be My Cat: A Film for Anne is the first Romanian found footage horror about a Romanian fan of Anne Hathaway. This independent production will screen in the competition of Romanian Days at Transilvania IFF (29 May - 7 June 2015).

    Obsessed with making a movie with Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway, a young Romanian man goes to shocking extremes using three local actresses to shoot scenes from the movie in order to send them to the American actress as proof of his filmmaking and acting skills.

    Tofei wrote, produced, directed and edited the film, and he also plays the main character. The cast includes Sonia Teodoriu, Florentina Hariton and Alexandra Stroe. The budget was 10,000 USD collected through three Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns, personal funds and private investors, Țofei told FNE.

    The film was shot in the director’s hometown of Rădăuti for 21 days in May 2014, and premiered at Fantasporto International Film Festival in Portugal. No distributors are attached to the project yet.
