About the artist

Horia Pop

Horia Pop's an artist living in France, right now. Making his way to live through his art (screenwriting, filming, shooting). His next step is to find a producer to help financing his first long feature : an autobiographical road-movie, "Samuel Kramer or the Adventures of a Tramp".
