Cristian Hulea

Freelance production assistant/ 3rd AD

I am a young professional in the domain of film and advertising production. Throughout my career, I have worked as a production and directing assistant, as well as a grip supporter in films and advertising. I am eager for knowledge and experience, so when I am on the set, I learn and work as much as possible. My natural curiosity and my passion for media production have helped me adapt easily and become a great asset for every company I worked for. My motivation and communication skills make me a great team member. I handle stress and time-pressure very well - adrenalin makes me more productive. In Romania, I had the chance to work with Romanian and American crews. I had the honor of working with Sergiu Nicolaescu, one of Romania's greatest directors, as well as with great American actors like Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. I have worked with major Romanian production companies, such as MediaPro and Castel Film. I believe it's time for me to expand my cinematographic views and explore the Western European film industry. I chose to freelance in The Netherlands due to its liberal tradition, as well as to the complexity of the Dutch society and filmmakers. I worked at the Parade mobile theater festival and Amsterdam's First Turkish Film Festival, which were wonderful ways of getting in touch with a part of Dutch and Turkish artistic life. I am open to new experiences and new ways of exploring art, so I would love to take part in theater or film festivals again, as well as ad, film and documentary making. I am currently registered as a freelance and I am looking for projects to work on. If my experience and skills match your project, feel free to contact me. I can hardly wait to embark on a new adventure!

Film yearbook 2009/2010 presented

PRESENTATION OF THE 2009/2010 FILM YEARBOOK On Friday afternoon, June 4, actress Lotte Verbeek, lead actress in the film Nothing Personal, will receive the first copy of the Film Yearbook 2009/2010. The presentation will take place at 3:30 PM (reception from 3:00 PM) at the Filmmuseum Vondelpark (Film Hall 2), Amsterdam. The Film Yearbook 2009/2010 contains descriptions and extensive credits of all theatrical films released in the Netherlands in 2009. An indispensable source of information for every film enthusiast. This Film Yearbook contains various articles: Author of the Year - Michael Haneke The 2009 Golden Palm winner was Michael Haneke with *Das Weisse Band*. His ominous message is roughly the same in all his films: what we repress from our lives will return in another, more destructive form. Under the watchful eye of the camera, he plays a sophisticated game with the viewer, as described by Jann Ruyters of the newspaper *Trouw*. 3D is back The most striking event of 2009 was the breakthrough of 3D. Once written off as carnival entertainment, 3D made its glorious comeback. Due to the meteoric success of Avatar, it briefly seemed as if James Cameron was single-handedly responsible for the 3D revival, but that impression requires some nuance. Film journalist Leo Bankersen dives deep into the dual world and looks back and forward with 3D glasses on. The soap opera surrounding Wit Licht and The Silent Army Few films have experienced such a turbulent year as Wit Licht and the re-edit The Silent Army. A reconstruction of the commotion surrounding Marco Borsato's brainchild, by film journalist Jan Pieter Ekker. Nazis in the leading role - The Good German exists After a number of failed Iraq films, Hollywood turned to a more manageable war period, World War II, but reversed the roles: good Germans instead of bad ones, and heroic Jews instead of passive victims. An article by film critic Joost Broeren Annual Review The year-end review written by Karin Wolfs reveals that the film year 2009 was a year of crisis, lost souls, and failing psychiatrists. But also of historic attendance extras. Cinematically, 2009 seemed like a year of extremes in which skepticism and optimism vied for supremacy. Actresses on their love of film The Film Yearbook is pleased that the sponsorship agreement with Film1 is being continued, as well as the collaboration with the editors of internet subsidiary Filmfocus, who, under the banner of Filmliefde, asked a new generation of actresses about their funniest, most moving, and scariest film. The answers can be read in this Film Yearbook. On the website www.film1.nl, the film descriptions from the Film Yearbook can be read alongside the films to be broadcast. Furthermore, the Film Yearbook contains a list of the most important film awards, attendance extras, and addresses of film and DVD distributors. Once again, the utmost care has been taken in researching titles released in the Netherlands and gathering the names of actors and technicians, attendance extras, soundtracks, correct aspect ratios, and DVD data. Digitally projected films are also included in the book with credits and descriptions. For the substantive reviews, a selection of established and emerging film writers was once again called upon, who together represent a wide range of daily newspapers, weekly magazines, and film journals, as well as film companies.
