Ένας μοναχικός φαγκότης ζει τη ζωή του σχολαστικά, βυθισμένος στη ρουτίνα. Κάθε μέρα, παίζει μια νότα σε μια ορχήστρα και φεύγει από τη σκηνή ενώ οι υπόλοιποι συνεχίζουν. Μια μέρα, η έξοδός του καθυστερεί κατά λάθος και ακούει ένα σόλο βιολί που κόβει την ανάσα, που αλλάζει τη ζωή του για πάντα. Χριστουγεννιάτικη ιστορία αγάπης.
A lonely bassoonist lives his life meticulously, mired in routine. Each day, he plays a single note in an orchestra and leaves the stage while the rest continue. One day, his exit is accidentally delayed and he hears a breathtaking violin solo, which changes his life forever. A Christmas love story.
Γεννήθηκα στην Αθήνα και σπούδασα στο London Film School (LFS) όπου γύρισα 5 ταινίες μικρού μήκους που διαγωνίστηκαν σε περισσότερα από 30 διεθνή φεστιβάλ ταινιών μικρού μήκους. Μεταξύ τους κέρδισαν 3 Grand Prix και 4 βραβεία Καλύτερης Σκηνοθεσίας. Δύο από αυτά τα shorts χρησιμοποιούνται από τότε ως παραδείγματα «Υψηλής ποιότητας και όρασης» στο πρόγραμμα σπουδών LFS.
Επέστρεψα στην Ελλάδα το 2002 μετά από κυνήγι κεφαλής για να σκηνοθετήσω το CLOSE YOUR EYES (S02) ένα δράμα υψηλής ποιότητας για το Mega Channel. Η παράσταση ήταν πολύ επιτυχημένη και κέρδισε 4 βραβεία στα Ελληνικά Τηλεοπτικά Βραβεία του 2003, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Καλύτερης Σκηνοθεσίας για μένα. Το 2004 σκηνοθέτησα ΞΑΦΝΙΚΑ, ένα άλλο high end δράμα για το ίδιο δίκτυο. Η εκπομπή έσπασε ρεκόρ δημοτικότητας και κέρδισε 3 βραβεία στα Ελληνικά τηλεοπτικά Βραβεία 2004. Συνέχισα να σκηνοθετώ ασταμάτητα σε όλο το υψηλό επίπεδο και να συνεχίζω τις δραματικές πλατφόρμες για τα επόμενα 11 χρόνια.

I was born in Athens Greece and studied at the London Film School (LFS) where I made 5 short films which competed in more than 30 international short film festivals. Between them they won 3 Grand Prixs and 4 Best Director awards. Two of these shorts have since gone on to be used as examples of “High Quality and Vision” in the LFS curriculum.
I returned to Greece in 2002 after being headhunted to direct CLOSE YOUR EYES (S02) a high end drama for Mega Channel. The show was very successful and won 4 awards at the 2003 Hellenic TV Awards including Best Director for me. In 2004 I directed SUDDENLY, abother high end drama for the same network. The show broke popularity records and won 3 awards at the 2004 Hellenic TV Awards. I continued directing non stop across the high end and continuing drama platforms for the next 11 years.
Burning Heads (aka “To Gala”), my debut feature, was released in Greece in 2012 (Odeon). It was nominated for 11 awards by the Hellenic Film Academy including Best Director, and went on to win Best Actor and Best Actress awards at Alexandria Film Festival (2012) and Best actor and Best Film in London Greek Film Festival (2012). In addition, it was selected to close the Los Angeles Greek Film Festival in 2012.
When Greece's economy collapsed, my family and I relocated to the UK where I have established myself as a well sought out director.
A CASUALTY episode of mine was amongst the four episodes nominated for a BAFTA (2022) and I was also nominated for a BAFTA Craft Award for my work on CORONATION STREET (2022). Additionally one of my CORONATION STREET scenes was up for the Scene of the Year award at the British Soap Awards (2022).
In 2023 I wrote and directed THE ONE NOTE MAN, a short film starring BAFTA winner Jason Watkins with the voice of Ian McKellen and music by Oscar winning composer Stephen Warbeck. The film won the Grand Prize Best Live Action Short Film at the Rhode Island International Film Festival (August ‘23) and is now Oscar and BAFTA qualified.
A feature film version of the short is in the works.
