All Rise holds deep personal meaning for me. As a filmmaker, I’ve always been drawn to stories that reflect the complexities of our society and explore the emotional impact of events that often go unheard.
All Rise is a short drama that I wrote and directed, inspired by real events and set in Athens, Greece. The story follows 18-year-old Petros, who tragically loses his life during a late-night return home. Eight months later, his parents, Eleni and Konstantinos, sit in a courtroom, awaiting a verdict that could finally offer them clarity and perhaps, closure.
