Theophilos Papastylianos

Biography

Theophilos is a filmmaker shaped by two homelands. Born in Canada to Greek immigrants struggling for a better life, he was raised between cultures before tagging along his parents who felt home sick and moved back to Greece. Though trained as a chemical engineer, his passion led him back across the ocean to study filmmaking in Montréal. Today, he writes, directs, and produces stories across film, theatre, and advertising; works that have touched audiences and earned national and international awards.
