Hi there! I’m Kostis, a film and video professional who thrives on turning ideas into visual stories. From initial concept to shoot and edit, I shape the look, movement, and lighting that carry the narrative and performance. I enjoy leading small, flexible crews and working under production pressure to deliver compelling narrative shorts, documentaries, and event films.
I’ve directed short-form projects, collaborated across disciplines, and love building shot lists, framing, and pre-visuals to hit a brief while keeping the process creative and collaborative.
