George Kottaridis, CEO
Having studied at the UK Screen Acting
Academy in Glasgow, initially a professional actor and stunt performer, George
Kottaridis quickly branched out to screenwriting, directing and producing
through his involvement in the film industry. Following his participation in
numerous seminars at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre, he went
on to attend & successfully complete workshops under Harry Mastrogeorge and
Danny Glover. To augment the extensive knowledge & experience he gained in
stunts, martial arts & fight choreography, George also obtained additional
degrees in those fields through attending intensive courses at NU Boyana Film
Studios in Sofia, Shoreline Studios in Vancouver and Kansai Action Actors in
Osaka.
Establishing a strong artistic
presence in the Bahamas, he became an honorable member among the founders of
the Bassa Bahamas Screen and Stage Association, a guilt-free union created in
2016. His involvement in the local industry, provided him with the opportunity
to work alongside Settlers Cove Production, as well as with director & DOP
N.L. Aubrey Smith, a crucial partnership that gave him invaluable knowledge on
producing and directing films. In 2017, he wrote his first
feature-length screenplay and teamed up with American novelist &
screenwriter Lee Chavis to fully develop the project, “Never Again”, which
ultimately became a complete package for investment.
Following a 2020 business trip to Washington D.C., he met DOP Aris Gavriilidis through their representative. Ever
since, they have joined forces in several cinematic efforts in Greece, with
many more to come in the UK, Europe and the United States of America.
