Available to hire
Hi, I’m Mariam Bitsadze, a passionate filmmaker and producer based in Georgia. With an MA in Audio-Visual Arts and ongoing studies in Film Directing, I love telling meaningful stories through film. I’ve been lucky to work across various projects, from documentaries to short films, and have even founded my own production company, 17/07 Productions.
Beyond filmmaking, I’m committed to continuous learning and professional development, participating in workshops and being an active member of European audiovisual networks. I enjoy collaborating on projects that inspire and provoke thought and look forward to connecting with like-minded creatives.
