After graduating Law School in Athens, I moved in Berlin to follow my
life dream of storytelling. This journey began at the direction
department of filmArche and goes on until today.
Biography
Who
am I? The everlasting question. According to the modern Greek
philosopher Anastasia - yes, I do call myself a philosopher – the
truest part of us, is the spirit inside us.
And
the spirit communicates with us through our feelings.
When humans, occupations, things make us laugh, cry, scream, dream…
Then we have to follow this feeling wherever it leads us.
What
moves me is the wonder
of arts. Call it writing, directing, dancing… it is all
interconnected. Unfortunately
my karma put me in the position of studying law. Don’t
blame me, everybody makes mistakes. Fortunately that happened in the
city of freedom and arts called Athens.
In
the city where the sun shines and revolutionary ideas were born, I had screenwriting, film
direction and acting teachers who gave me valuable knowledge. At the Film Group of POFPA and EMPROS
Theater Stage.
After
completing my law studies, I immigrated to the grey, mesmerizing Berlin. There I deepened my knowledge in the heart-space of filmArche and Schott Acting
Studio.
Same with filmmaking, my dance journey was always based on creative freedom. I have been dancing freely and
trying out all kinds of genres: Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary,
Hip-Hop, Oriental.
This whole journey led me creating my series vision. My message is about love and freedom. Love for the craft and freedom from the conventional.
I
close with an accidental poem of mine, which very well
summarizes my biography.
„You
are free now“
All
the people I learned, all the knowledge I earned...
All
the words I wrote, all the words I spoke…
All
the dances I moved, all the scenes I proved…
All
the songs I sang, all the pictures I hung…
All
the feelings I felt, all the feelings I said...
All
of it brought me closer to my Ithaka.
Fear
not. The Barbarians have left.
You
are free now.
End
of the poem and beginning of a new discussion.
I would be glad to chat with you about my series concept!
