Alexandru Buliga.
I am a film director and director of photography, working across documentary, fiction and video production.
I have 17 years of television experience, including Digi24, DigiSport and National TV. At Digi, I managed a team of over 20 camera operators. I graduated in Film Cinematography at UNATC in 2023 and completed an MA in Documentary Film Directing in 2025.
My camera work includes documentaries about the National Theatre Festival, UTV concerts and live broadcasts, and the Untold and Summer Well festivals.
In documentary, I follow what happens in front of the camera. In fiction, I develop the images with the director. Lighting and framing serve the film.
