I've previously worked on independent films, music videos, advertising and theatre productions as both makeup, hair and special effects artist. I started to learn screenwriting after having a few film ideas of my own. So far I have written a short fantasy film called 'Dandelion Wishes' and a comedy feature 'Love According To Eros'. I am currently working with a co-writer on a Greek fantasy TV Series called 'Hades Realm'.
I do love all the creative processes that goes into movie making from the stories to the makeup special effects.
My greatest wish is to see a story through to production and continually improve in all areas of my creativity especially screenwriting.
