Director Biography - YORGOS KERAMYDAS

I was born and raised in Ptolemaida, Greece. One of my earliest and most defining experiences with cinema was at the age of 12 when I watched Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. That film left a strong impression on me and continues to influence my aesthetic. I am particularly drawn to "dark" films that incorporate elements of mystery and suspense, something I strive to integrate into my own work.

I have created three student short films, undertaking all stages of production— from scriptwriting and storyboarding to directing, cinematography, editing, composing and recording the music, and color correction. My first film, Play Deaf (2023), was submitted to various festivals, winning several awards, and was selected to be screened at the Drama International Short Film Festival as part of a special showcase of student films from the Hellenic Open University.

In addition to filmmaking, I have been involved in digital journalism, writing for an online newspaper, and I have explored the management of e-commerce stores. I have also engaged with graphic design, website development, sales/advertising, and computer technology. Outside of my creative projects, I play bass in a rock band, blending music with my other artistic endeavors.

Director Statement

The film was created as a student project for the Editing 1 course of "Studies in Film Writing, Practice and Research" (Hellenic Open University).

I wrote that script and directed it because i wanted to give courage to people who have lost someone of their own. To give an optimistic spin on a particularly tough situation.
