I have starred in short and feature films.
My first feature film direction “My Blood” (also produced, screenplay writing and editing) achieved a total of 9 awards and multiple honours at festivals worldwide, including one nomination and one award at Greek Film Academy Awards.
The film is a completely independent production. In the film I also play one of the two leading male parts.
