Zaf I was born in Greece and then travelled across Europe during my childhood and youth to end up (for the moment) in Belgium. Have studied journalism before entering the magical world of film where i was fascinated with the image (camera + lighting, got that by watching so many movies during my teens...) and the emotional effect it could arose into somebody. It's a fascinating art, especially in those days where technology has become as affordable and available as it is today. The learning curve has gone milder for a beginner due to this access to high quality video production tools, but you never stop from being a student... Knowledge in that field is so vast that im just discovering the wonders of the top of the top of the top of the iceberg. I try to shoot as much as possible, be it music videos, commercials, short movies or concerts, but also to do other jobs related to film on long features. Through the Genero contest i had the opportunity to make my first steps as a director for a Moby music video which was an amazing experience that i want to reproduce as soon as possible. I'm far away (in a long and distant country) from considering myself a director, but you learn so much when you have to check all the aspects of video making, and it's so exciting and stressful (in a good way, the stress and excitement that makes you feel alive) to see on screen pictures you had imagined in your head that you just want to do it again , immediately. It's getting addictive like a drug, giving the same feeling of ecstasy i guess, without the down... So Genero got me addicted to that stuff and I wont thank them enough for that! It's a bit too soon (well LOADS too soon) to talk about "my style" or "my message" in my videos or stuff like that, with just one done. I guess the only thing that i can say is that i try to provoke some emotions to the viewer, to make him feel things when watching it, and not just to show a technical demonstration without any content.
