SKETCHES

Orestis, a nineteen-year-old boy, comes out of his shell, when he attends Danae’s party, with his confident friend, Christos. Orestis is an introverted high-school student, with a talent in drawing, who’s interested in Danae, but is too shy to approach her and talk to her. When he goes to her party with Christos, he finally has a chance to show her how he feels.

Director Statement

I have always been fascinated by cameras and the whole creative process that surrounds them. I remember from a young age, I would take the family camera out of its case, and would ask friends and family to act for me, while I would direct and film. I would then get out the VHS tape and present what we had just shot on the television. At this point I had very basic knowledge of how to operate the camera, however I knew this was a skill I wanted to develop and pursue in the future.

My passion is to make films dealing with real life issues, revolving around everyday people. Whilst the popularity of shows incorporating stunning visual effects has risen, I believe that it is also important to take a step back and create content that is relatable and resonates with the audience. My inspiration comes from my two favourite TV series, ‘One Tree Hill’ and ‘This is Us’.
