Greek director and composer exploring realistic, emotionally grounded stories through a unified creative vision.
Director, composer, and founder of realpeople studio. I shape each project from script to final cut, maintaining a unified artistic vision and delivering fully professional work even with minimal crew. My approach centers on narrative-driven realism, emotional pacing, and precise visual rhythm. Style and aesthetics serve the story: color, framing, light, performance, even moments of intensity or restraint—everything is chosen deliberately to support narrative impact, never as decorative flourish.
My films have screened internationally. Timologio (2013, 20') received the Audience Award at the London Greek Film Festival.
My latest short, A Day Through My Eyes (2022), featuring autistic actors, has been selected by 21 festivals worldwide and has received 12 awards across human-rights and disability-focused programs.
Recently, I was invited to present the film at the Human Screen Human Rights Festival in Tunis and to participate as a guest at its human-rights conference hosted by NGO ACTIF.
Inspired by filmmakers such as Gilliam, Tarkovsky, and Spielberg, while staying committed to one principle: the story dictates the form.
Current projects include the fiction feature The Last Soul, and the documentaries The Village That Dreamed of Cinema and The Holy Dog. I continue to explore opportunities in pitching, co-production, and international festival collaborations.
