About:

Hi, I was born four months before the Berlin Wall fell, in a private maternity home in Athens, Greece, called “Mother”. I've had the privilege to enjoy life in my childhood on a beach devouring a melting ice cream on a hot summer day with my cousins and a refuge 10year old boy from the bombings in Bosnia who shared with us his version of life at a very young age…
I went to church on Sundays. I have 4 siblings, two loving parents, and 32 first cousins. Learned about cinema on the eve of the global financial crisis when I came to study in the UK, and I discovered something called TV commercials about a year later through unpaid runner jobs for major productions in my homeland. I started directing commercials, corporate webcasts, and music videos a short while after. I now share my life between London and Athens and love close-ups and anamorphic long shots.
