- YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE is a heartfelt screenplay about finding the courage to change and fall in love again after life (and others) had let you down... Through the four female characters of the film (Emily, an 18 year-old aspiring model, Ellen a not-so-typical American-Greek housewife from Astoria, Rebecca, a NY socialite, Betty, a down-an-out on her luck TV presenter), we begin to understand the complexity of the everyday challenges and the relationship issues they are facing (one out of eight women is going to face the challenge of breast cancer). And hopefully, we can transform ourselves, alter our perspective, and, ultimately, change our own complicated and distorted relationship and attitude towards breast-cancer patients. The mood, pace and overall tone of the film is unique since it is elevated far above the drama of the four leading female characters. They are searching for the light in the end of the tunnel. They remain optimistic and humorous even in the worst of circumstances and challenges they are facing.

- The television series is loosely based on the film "Loufa kai paralagi" (1984) which covered the lives of the soldiers and officers involved in the first stages of development of Greek television. The first Greek television programs were produced by a station directly under the ownership, supervision and staffing of the Greek Army. Which was appropriate since the historic period of the events were the years of the Greek military dictatorship (1967 - 1974). Both the film and the series also examine the various effects of the dictatorship on Greek life both in and outside the army. But while the film was relatively short, the series further expands on the characters and their personal lifes and outlouks.

- 1917- 2017 One century from the October Revolution. The big dream, the vision shared by millions of people over the world left an indelible mark on the 20th century. It was a utopian dream that this documentary describes and tries to interpret. The "Great Utopia" narrates the fall of the Tzar, the breakout of the "October revolution", the domination of the Bolsheviks, the civil war, the failure of "war communism", Lenin's efforts to implement the new economic policy (NEP) and the huge explosion (and subsequent implosion) of the Soviet society: social progress, free commerce, agricultural production, education, women's position, visual arts, poetry, literature, theatre, music, cinema, architecture. It was a short-lived era of creativity and the Bolsheviks dreamy of spreading it all over the world. Indeed, many communist parties sprang that ended up forming the "Communist International", an institution meant to coordinate the workers' movements in capitalist countries. Millions of people also dreamy to visit the Soviet Union and admire the accomplishments of socialism. Finally, few did so. In the meantime, in the Soviet Union, after Lenin's death, the expulsion of Trotsky and Stalin's rise, the dogma of the "war communism" comes back with a vengeance; the main goals are industrialization and collectivization, two processes that are enforced violently causing bloody conflicts with the farmers. Arrests and deportations of millions of peasants to faraway Siberia as well as an imposed famine to a large population leads to the death of more than 5 million people: the term HOLODOMOR maybe known only to the initiated; it means "death from famine" and defines the mass starvation in Ukraine in 1932-34. Immediately after, the regime, having achieved its goal, looks triumphant events and consolidates its autocracy. The prophetic painting by Nikritin "People's Trial" illustrates the tragedy.
