Other

From 1995- 1998 I worked as a production assistant on numerous Greek films, television series and commercials.  I was also the production manager of the feature film No Budget Story directed by Renos Haralambidis and produced by Spotlight S.A.

As a grip I have gripped over 1000 television commercials.  I have worked with all of the major Greek production companies including, Tasios productions, Top Cut S.A., Med Focus S.A., Boo Productions S.A. Stefi S.A., Kino S.A., Cinegram S.A., Modiano S.A., Movielab S.A. and others.  I have also worked on numerous commercials for other markets including, Australia, U.S.A., Korea, France, Germany, Israel, Italy and India.

I currently also have my own equipment leased from J.L. Fisher, and the opportunity to bring other equipment from J.L. Fisher should this be required.

I am also a certified diver; I have the PADI advanced open water and rescue diver certificates, and am currently working on the Nitrox certification.
