The Build-up! https://journals.worldnomads.com/stalonicolaou/ Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:24:38 GMT World Nomads Adventures One of my closest friends was going to open his own bar after 8 years of working as anMC &DJ for various places,and I offered to film & edit the whole process.The idea was that I would produce 'The Build-up' of the bar.By that time my experience in filmmaking was from working on 4 local projects as a props master and art-director.3 times for TV stations and once on a feature length film.None of these projects was complete though,as lack of funding halfway,always put a stop to the production.The disappointment I felt was enormous.The local industry is very small.Also producing small promo videos as a freelancer for extra cash and gathering experience in the production of documentaries.These videos had to be short,storytelling and entertaining.From the comments I got from people for these videos,I realised that I was slowly building an audience for myself,but still money was an issue.These comments though,kept me going!I consider myself to be a documentarist,as I always observe what's around me,and like to follow live action.One day I want to make the documentary that will change the way the world,views the world!This scholarship will be a huge push towards that direction. https://journals.worldnomads.com/stalonicolaou/story/91056/Worldwide/My-Scholarship-entry-Through-Local-Eyes Travel Worldwide stalonicolaou https://journals.worldnomads.com/stalonicolaou/story/91056/Worldwide/My-Scholarship-entry-Through-Local-Eyes#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/stalonicolaou/story/91056/Worldwide/My-Scholarship-entry-Through-Local-Eyes Mon, 15 Oct 2012 04:59:45 GMT 0
