TRIVIA:

• Andrei Inizian is a Romanian director and screenwriter, born in Brasov in 1993, graduated from UNATC “I.L. Caragiale”, Bucharest, Film Directing section.
• He initially wanted to be an actor, but later fell in love with film directing.
• “Two Nights in April” is his graduation film and is the first project realized with the support of the research center Cinetic.
• It premiered at the Next Film Festival, 2017 edition.
• The film was also screened during the “Super” Retrospective, a festival of films dedicated to teenagers. During the event, in a discussion with the moderator Alexia Drăgan (then “Super” ambassador; today also a film director) about the industry, workshops, the film faculty in Bucharest, how you approach working on a movie, what teamwork means and how to divide roles on set, Andrei Inizian advised the younger ones: ,“When you make movies, and you are just starting out, don’t be afraid to ask for help. For me, college was relevant because of the people I met and the connections I made.”
• Asked what he has learned from his experience so far, Andrei said that “it is very important to establish a network of competent people in the field, to find people with a similar sensibility to yours, because working on a movie is a team work and it is important to be compatible. Also, it takes practice to get things right and it’s very important to read everything – novels, stories, specialized books. That’s what I’ve learned from great directors.

• “If you want it, yes, it can happen anytime.” – Grig (Bogdan Nechifor)
• “It’s about trust, it’s about telling the person next to you what you think… even if they don’t agree, even if they don’t like it. If the connection is real, I think moments like that can be easily overcome.” – Grig (Bogdan Nechifor)
• “It’s real between us. Or is it me?” – Grig (Bogdan Nechifor)
• “I was just telling Grig just now that I’m glad you’re marrying. Congratulations!” – Sonia (Alina Ilin)
• “I trust you both.” – Anda (Minodora Broscoi)
• “I’m Sonia and I’m going with Grig to record sounds for his SF movie.” – Sonia (Alina Ilin)
• “I haven’t even had coffee, but everything for his movie.” – Sonia (Alina Ilin)
• “Didn’t you say you wanted to be a bridesmaid?” – Grig (Bogdan Nechifor)
• “Do you love her?” – Sonia (Alina Ilin)
• “It’s not a hard question, but it’s an unusual question.” – Grig (Bogdan Nechifor)
