How Sebastian Stan Finally Brought Hollywood to His Homeland With Romanian Festival Hopeful ‘A River’s Gaze’


After years of trying to bring his day job home to Romania, Marvel star Sebastian Stan has produced a heartfelt film from director Andreea Bortun.

The Academy Award nominee has proven he’s as bankable in high-brow indies like “The Apprentice” and “A Different Man” as he is in soaring commercial fare like his continuing role as Marvel’s Bucky Barnes (next appearing in “Thunderbolts”). Born in Constanța, Romania, Stan has been trying to find a way to bring his day job back to his birth country and highlight talent in the region. Bortun, whose work is a blend of anthropology and visual art, has sent up successful shorts to festivals like Cannes(where her collaboration with Stan has submitted for inclusion this year).
