Moonlighting In Communist Romania To Agency Producing In NYC with Saatchi &Saatchi's Radu Olievschi.

I met Radu Olievschi, a wonderful agency producer at Saacthi & Saatchi NYC, this summer and was intrigued with not just his journey to America, but his immense passion for filmmaking. Growing up in communist Romania did not lend itself to to becoming a filmmaker, let alone a producer at an ad agency (especially unlikely since the one hour of State-run tv had no advertising), but Radu knew early on it was his destiny. Enjoy Radu's story and hear the passion in his telling.

Here's a PSA Radu produced. A favorite of mine directed by Seth Gordon.
