- About Tio:

Tio was born in Romania in the late 1980s. He grew up with two loving parents and had a great childhood, but as he grew older and started to witness the stress that money was placing on his family, he began to question more relevant things. His inquisitive mind with its insatiable thirst for knowledge, would begin to steer his life and actions towards investigating and challenging society's institutions and dogmas.

He started a blog in 2006 as a therapeutic way to express his thoughts and ideas. That evolved to him writing a series of articles on his blog with the intent to transform them into videos. That idea and project was the beginnings and evolution of TROM.

He became aware of movements / organizations such as the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement, as well as other concepts and documentaries pertaining to the current socio-economic system, and possible solutions for a new, more equitable system.

He worked closely with the Venus Project for several years. He was practically the sole curator and writer for TVP magazine, which is now defunct. Because he was responsible for writing and creating most of the articles in the magazine, when TVP decided to end the project, he took with him all his writings and work he had contributed to the magazine, and they are now on the TROM site.

All of that, in part, is what inspired him to quit college and devote his life to creating an ultimate act of expression.
Although he had no budget, no assistance, and only an inferior, inadequate, and outdated computer to work with, he combed through countless hours of footage from a wide variety of videos, wrote the narration and storyline, and compiled it all together.
His ambition and drive propelled him forward, and through will and determination and years of devotion, he was finally able to complete the documentary that became TROM.

TROM is a project that aims to showcase in detail the root cause of most of today’s problems and proposes realistic solutions to solve those problems. It's about challenging people’s values, explaining in simple language how the world works, and providing free and good quality educational materials & tools for everyone.
