Call him Yanni. It’s complicated.

He is a director, writer, and editor. Born and raised in Athens, Greece, Yannis worked in Greek Film and Primetime Television before immigrating to Los Angeles.

Yannis' work plays a lot with the nature of reality: Questioning it, toying with it, and molding it in surprising and unexpected ways to create intense, emotionally engaging stories, regardless of genre. 

Some of his recent directing work includes the award-winning short films DON'T FRIGHTEN THE HORSES and DICHOTOMY (both streaming on REVRY.TV), and segment-directing on zombie feature DAWNING OF THE DEAD (streaming on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime). NAMAS DEI: THE TUCKER J. JAMES STORY is his feature directorial debut.

Yannis has a thing for penguins but it’s strictly platonic.
