Elevator is a Romanian independent film directed by George Dorobanțu and written by Gabriel Pintilei [ro].

In 2004, during a student party at the Caragiale Academy of Theatrical Arts and Cinematography (UNATC), Gabriel Pintilie began work on what would become the play entitled Elevator.

Alexandra Păun and George Dorobanţu became interested in the cinematographic adaptation of the play after seeing a stage version directed by Adrian Zaharia, at the Teatrul Foarte Mic theater in Bucharest.

Principal photography took place during 18 days, in August and September 2005, in the Odeon Theatres cargo elevator.

The editing dragged on for 2 years, and Florin Piersic Jr joined during the post-production phase as a technical consultant.
