Kostis Malliaropoulos

Videographer and Editor with credits across narrative shorts, documentary, branded content and event films. I work from brief to final delivery, shaping the visual approach through shot planning, framing, movement, lighting and edit structure. Comfortable working independently or with small crews, managing fast-paced shoots, recording clean interviews and event coverage, and turning footage into clear, engaging videos.

My directing background helps me approach each project with a strong sense of story, tone and audience.
