Carmen Rizac

Carmen Rizac? Oh, she’s a total powerhouse in the Romanian film scene. You might not know her face, but if you’ve watched anything coming out of Bucharest in the last decade, odds are she’s had a hand in it somewhere behind the curtain. She’s the COO and Senior Post Supervisor at Avanpost Media, which isn’t just some random studio—it’s basically one of those places everyone in the business knows about. You walk in, and there’s this buzz, like stuff gets made here, you know? Carmen’s right in the middle of all that action, juggling a dozen projects at once and somehow making it look easy. She started off hustling as a post-production coordinator, grinding it out on smaller gigs, but her knack for keeping even the most stubborn productions on track got her noticed. Fast forward, and she’s running the show, steering Avanpost to the front of the Romanian film and TV pack. People really listen when she walks into a meeting—not just because she’s the boss, but because she actually knows her stuff. She’s got this reputation for being both brutally honest and wildly supportive, which, let’s face it, is a combo you don’t find every day. Carmen’s fingerprints are all over some of the most talked about Romanian projects—dramas, thrillers, even offbeat comedies. She’s earned a ton of respect, not just from her team but from directors and producers all over Europe. You can bet her dedication and sharp eye for detail have pushed the industry forward, and honestly, she’s just getting started.
