Producer Christos Giotis Discusses Greek Film & 3D Production
Given the difficult time that Greece is going through, it’s comforting to know that there are still some people struggling to set high standards in film production and to improve the Greek film industry on an international level. One of these people is Christos Giotis, the founder of the production company called Film Greece which provides a variety of services from location scouting to film equipment and many more, that makes Greece a more desirable shooting destination. Mister Giotis having recently contributed as a co-director in the Toronto International Stereoscopic 3D Conference, talked to us about his work and also explained why 3D filmmaking has started to become hip and what its advantages are.
