Filming the Hero's journey- a conversation with director and producer Dimitris Logothetis

The Heart Of Show Business With Alexia Melocchi

How do you build a universe around a character in order to make a successful action film? In this very special episode, I sit down with filmmaker and producer Dimitris Logothetis, to get an insider look into the creative process behind Dimitris' latest movie, Gunner, starring Luke Hemsworth. Dimitris is no stranger to creating characters that inspire, standing firm in their beliefs and actions, and he uses his passion for martial arts to bring a unique flavor to his storytelling.
In this richly textured conversation, we uncover Dimitris's journey that started as an immigrant, and how this experience influenced his vision and work in the entertainment industry, including the push he got from Martin Scorsese to go to film school.
He shares how the essence of the 'underdog' spirit is reflected in his roles as an actor, writer, producer, and director.
We also have a real as it gets discussion on the intricacies of the filmmaking industry. Dimitris provides a clear perspective on funding strategies for films and the art of creating compelling universes that engage audiences.
