I am Yiannis Antonas, a Cypriot filmmaker with a background in television and cinema. Over the past decade, I've directed and collaborated on productions of all scales, drawn to subtle tension and visual irony in storytelling. Despite being born in the height of summer, I ironically dislike the season, which reflects my approach to nuanced narrative. I studied Film at Hofstra University in New York, specializing in directing and editing. My thesis film earned multiple awards for Best Directing, Editing, and Cinematography. Returning to Cyprus, I've directed a variety of popular TV series, worked internationally in several high-profile productions in assistant director and casting roles, and created feature films. I also enjoy coaching football for children under 13, balancing creativity on set with discipline on the pitch.
