Films
Dorobanţu's first Elevator has been notable due to the claim that it was made with a fund of 300 euro.
Despite the shoestring budget, it earned several rewards both in Romania and overseas. Elevator was followed by ''Bucharestless'', which was a
cinéma verité or a documentary about the
Romanian capital. The 2011 film had an outside-the-box cinematic perspective, with a sequential narrative approach, and no dialogues. It depicted the soul of the city, which was referred to in the past as "Little Paris".
The post-apocalyptic film called ''Omega Rose'' followed ''Bucharestless'', although it was only completed in 2018.
This movie was already in post-production stage in 2012. During the same year, ''Suspense 101'' was also completed and it earned immense interest. The 17-minute short film, which told the story of a hacker, who invented an odd prototype, was selected as one of the finalists of the annual ScripTeast, which were presented at the 2012
