Director Biography - GIORGOS KOMAKIS

My name is George Komakis and I am an independent filmmaker and producer located in Greece. My career started at 2003 taking acting courses in a Greek drama school. It was then that my love for cinematography was born. Completing my studies and empowered with a personal view of the art of acting, the next logical step was to deepen my directing skills. I achieved that at 2009 by receiving my Bachelor of Arts. The next years I worked as an assistant director in various television productions and on 2011 I undertake projects as filmmaker and camera operator of such productions. My cooperation with the Greek branch of vice.com from 2013 to 2016 as a filmmaker and camera operator brought me closer to the genre of documentary. Since then i am working an external contractor against television production studios and as an independent producer and director of my own personal projects.
