Giorgos Georgopoulos (1975) studied directing at Likourgos Stavrakos’ School of Cinematography and Television, in Athens. Later, he studied Sociology in Rome at Università Roma I: La Sapienza. Finally, he studied European Culture at the Hellenic Open University. Early in his life, being greatly influenced by his father (a director of photography of numerous classic Greek films), he settled on his involvement into the film industry. He started his career as a film editor and soon thereafter as a director and producer, mainly of TV commercials, documentary films and educational TV series for National Television. In 1999, he returned to Greece and undertook Multivision, a production company based in his native city of Athens, producing films, documentaries, commercials and music videos.
