adapted for the movie. A year in advance before filming, Adrian moved to his hometown and began to experience some of the circumstances that surround his character's life. Adrian Țofei, who came from a background in method acting and theatre (Ion Cojar's method), partially improvised the movie in his hometown in Romania on a limited budget as director, producer, writer, lead actor, editor, cinematographer and most other jobs usually performed by a film crew, he never used a camera before in his life, had no crew present during shootings other than him and the actresses, partially lived in character, met the actresses for the first time in character with the camera on, and kept only first takes in the final cut. A language switch was used during filming to ensure the safety of everyone involved: speaking English meant everyone is interacting in character, and speaking Romanian meant everyone returns to be being themselves (with a few exceptions when the characters had to speak Romanian). Filming was preceded by months of preparation via emails between Țofei and the three actresses. Adrian Țofei's filmmaking method consists of working for months on an alternative psychological reality for the actors including himself, partially living in character, so that when they start improvising, he mainly needs to record the unfolding events and to make sure the improvisation goes in the right direction. The script mostly consists of plot points. Adrian shoots tens of hours of footage guerrilla style (25 hours for Be My Cat: A Film for Anne), and then he watches the footage like a documentary filmmaker would and creates the details of the story in post-production during the editing process. Țofei kept his character away from any sexual crimes, first because it would be grotesque and no one would watch the movie, second because Țofei wanted him to have a child-like innocence to become paradoxical, and third because he only belongs to Anne Hathaway in his mind, so he wouldn’t cheat on her by touching other women. On the contrary, he severely punishes the second girl for hitting on him. The character is quite principled in his “relationship” with Anne. Adrian Țofei's favorite part in Be My Cat is the ending. He told the actress Alexandra Stroe to convince his character during improvisations that his true mission is not making a film with Anne, but being with her personally, to make him realize
