Hi, I'm Georgios Xanthidis. I blend artistic storytelling with a solid technical foundation as a filmmaker and writer. I hold an MA in Film & Television Studies from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and a BEng in Architectural Engineering from Heriot-Watt University. Over the past several years I've worked on documentary TV series for ERT, short films, and production coordination, gaining hands-on experience from script development to on-set operation and post-production support. I'm driven by curiosity, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. I thrive in academic and industry settings, enjoy researching regional traditions, coordinating shoots, and delivering compelling content. I aim to keep growing my skills, tackle diverse projects, and contribute across roles from writing and directing to production and IT support when needed.
