From Romania to France via America Born in communist Romania, Corneliu Mitrache gave up a career in aviation, swam across the Danube and immigrated to America. Freshly graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in playwriting, Mitrache moved to New York. Waiting for Godex (formerly Godex Has Come) premiered at the Greenwich Street Theatre. A West Coast premiere followed shortly at the Attic Theatre in Los Angeles. An old dream made Mitrache cross another river: the Seine. His first novel was translated and published as La Traversée du Styx by Editions Denöel/Gallimard, Paris. The novel caught the attention of the press, blogs and online magazines (see La Traversée du Styx). One of his screenplays, “Crossing the Danube,” is a Hollywoodscript.com contest winner, a BlueCat semi-finalist, and a Fade In Awards semi-finalist.
