Cretativity
Cretativity is an improvised word combining Creta, which in many languages means Crete, and creativity. The documentary called Cretativity is about six artists from six different countries and six different fields of art who have chosen to live and work in Crete. These six people explain on camera the reasons that brought them to this place, as well as the ones that keep them from moving to a more developed country. Through sounds and images from today's Crete the audience in being introduced to the contributors' local sources of inspiration, their thoughts on Greece's future and their point of view about the pros and cons of an artist living in a place seriously effected by the economic recession yet so special to them.

Born and raised in Iraklio, Greece he has been working for cinema and TV since 2008, mainly in the field of production and location management. His filmography consists so far of documentaries focused on extraordinary people and their choices in life.
I seek for something that sticks out order in any way, visually, musically or socially. From people who made the choice nobody would expect to a written post on the wall out of any cliche, I want to be there and record it or even take a photo. When I write, I write about people who made their choice and paid for it. When I take photos I am looking out for something that ruins order. When I make films I am focusing on people who thrive living out of the norm.
