Florian's earliest videos were YouTube shorts discussing Romani diaspora in the West. He would go on to make shorts about Romani languages and dialects, Romani traditions, Romani fashion, Romani sub-cultures and diasporas, Romani music, anti-Romani racism, Romani dances and famous Romani people. He is also critical of representation of Romani people in media and has called out Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame for having racial carictures of Romani people, though he did praise them for portraying Esmerelda as a dark-skinned Romani woman, and advocated for Romani characters to be played by actors of Romani ethnicity.[2][3]
