New international production banner Studio Galazio has announced that its first project, an international heist comedy set on Mykonos, has wrapped principal photography on the glamorous Greek island. The film tells the story of a rag tag band of noble thieves who steal from the boorish elite tourists that destroy their island home each summer.
The film features an international ensemble cast led by rising Greek actress Klelia Andriolatou (Netflix’s Maestro in Blue) and newcomer Andrew Georgiades with Riccardo Scamarcio (Lionsgate’s John Wick 2), Vito Schnabel (The Trainer) and Julia Fox (A24’s Uncut Gems).
They are supported by Panos Koronis (Apple’s The Lost Daughter), Makis Papadimitriou (IFC’s Suntan), Yorgos Pirpassopoulos (Neon’s Crimes of the Future) Maria Kavoyianni (Netflix’s Maestro in Blue), Alan Asaad (Netflix’s Black Mirror) and Christos Passalis (Kino Lorber’s Dogtooth).
Studio Galazio is a newly formed production entity dedicated to the creation and development of TV series and feature films with inherent Greek themes, aimed at large-scale international distribution. The studio partnered with former NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Improbable Media for Antetokounmpo’s first foray into the industry as a producer.
Studio Galazio also worked with local Greek production services company BLONDE S.A. (Apple’s Tehran) and producers, Ginevra Tamberi (previously Senior Executive at Amazon MGM Studios), Donna Bloom (HBO’s Julia) and Raphael Benoliel (Netflix’s Emily in Paris).
Galazio C.E.O. Christopher André Marks (King Otto) makes his feature directorial debut based on his original screenplay. The Writer and Director said: “It is a privilege to collaborate with such a talented international cast and crew on this film, especially as we embark on our first major project in Greece.”
