Filmmaker
I am Michalis Felanis and I work as a freelance film director, videographer and editor.
I have learnt all the necessary skills needed to become passionate and knowledgeable about what I do. I set up my own production company called Lucky Monday Productions. I like to challenge myself with new techniques and styles with every project.
My real passion is with camera operating and editing as that to me is where the real creativity comes into play.
If you need film director, cameraman or Editor then please let me know. Always happy to lend a hand in any way possible. I strive to do the best I can with what I have and hate to disappoint anyone, and when you put those two qualities together you get a very hard working and reliable partner that comes out on top.
I look forward to working with you on whatever project you send my way.
