Dimitris is a film director and creative artist devoted to the art of visual storytelling and the cinematic form. He studied filmmaking in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University between 2003 and 2007, directing shorts and dissecting the mysteries of the local experimental filmmaking scene who’s celluloid culture and unorthodox artistic methods left an imprint on him.

After graduation he moved to Los Angeles where he worked as an assistant editor at Jerry Bruckheimer Films. He has worked and learned under many Academy Award winning and nominated film editors such as Michael Kahn, Mark Goldblatt, David Brenner, Bud Smith and William Goldenberg. Since 2012 he has directed music and advertising videos in Greece.

In 2015 his directorial feature debut “The Republic” premiered at the Athens International Film Festival. An indie revenge flick about a photographer left for dead after spying on a human trafficking ring involving a prominent businessman, the movie addressed with an unapologetic, saturated and humorous tone many of the pathogenies of 21st century Greek society and politics.

Dimitris is currently writing new scripts while also directing documentaries, music and corporate videos. He also enjoys to shoot analogue photography and to teach the craftsmanship of film editing the way he learned it from some of Hollywood’s most legendary motion picture editors.
