#RODigitalAmbassador: The young filmmaker raising awareness about Romania with humor

Eduard Florin Ilie, or Edsta as he is more widely known online, is a cinematographer and content creator whose videos stand out in a major way - they are about Romania, funny, and relatable to every Romanian.

Edsta was born in Bucharest and moved to the US in 2001, when he was 8. A year later, his passion for filmmaking led him to make stop-motion videos with LEGOs. This developed into short experimental films, and, soon enough, paying clients who were asking him to participate in film events.
