About:

Cinema is my passion. Photography is my passion. Narration is my passion. I have directed more than 300 commercials. I always strive to  avoid the "dejà vu". I know it's not original, easy to say, but still. There is always a way to introduce something new. I hope that at least. Listening, understanding, anticipating, optimizing.

I'm mostly sensitive to the atmoshperes. Get the right atmosphere. Highlight the essence of the story. That, for me, is what commercial film-making is about. Now, what is the right atmoshphere ? It changes in time. It's exactly fascinating. 

I have been living in Paris since 1988, born in Greece and working mostly in and around Europe.. 

I studied cinema in Paris and, before taking on directing myself, worked on many projects with different directors whose work inspired me : Michel Gondry, JB Mondino, Frederic Planchon,... 

I started directing commercials from 1999. I was noticed by Shots, as a young promising newcomer and also have won awards (Ermis Awards and a gold award in Epica New York ).
