Geor­gia worked in advert­ising for 10 years before try­ing her hand at stor­ies longer than 30 seconds.

She’s now shoot­ing VIP, an ori­gin­al 30-epis­ode com­edy about a cor­rupt retire­ment home that will air on ANT1tv on Octo­ber 2024.

Her dram­edy, “Babython” about infer­til­ity and par­ent­hood developed dur­ing Seri­al Eyes in 2020 was optioned in Greece as a book and a min­iser­ies and made it to the 2022 short­l­ist of Studio21 Drama Series script com­pet­i­tion and POFF TvBeats co-fin­an­cing for­um (2023), even­tu­ally win­ning the Col­lab­or­at­ive future Award at Seri­en­camp in Cologne (2023).
