- Waves and Freedom (2013) Documentary
- - Shot at different weather conditions in over 3 months,
- - Had to go to an island with the last ship in order to catch the earliest ship departure to shoot the sunrise scenes
- - And there was nowhere to spend the night in a snowy midnight. Police station couldn't accept me in.
- - I will always remember :
- - the shopkeeper who risked his business existence by not closing his shop from midnight until sunrise to keep me out of the snowy weather in Prinkipo,
- - the captain shared his healthy cakes baked by his wife,
- - the personnel shared special linden tea sent by his family back at home in the Black Sea,
- - and many good hearted people helped me to complete this documentary
- Exhilarating ambiance of spaciousness and tranquility of sea,
- away from the hustle and bustle of the city,
- Dancing with free waves, friendship with seagulls,
- Irresistible attraction to sail away since the beginning of the time,
- Melancholy in the ship's siren calls
- and the thrill to return to the port after a bad weather at sea . .
- Being at Sea is like being at home. Once you experience it, the land could no longer satisfy you
