Greece has been through some tumultuous financial times in recent years, a reality that has made it very difficult for many Greek talents to find financing for their projects, but Alexiou is back now with his sophomore project - a dark thriller titled Wednesday 04:45, which has just been announced as part of the World Narrative Competition at Tribeca.
A life's work becomes a prison for jazz club owner Stelios when a shady Romanian gangster calls in his debts. This gripping, underworld drama is a parable on the perils of accumulated debt, and a depiction of the descent of a mostly decent man. Director Alexis Alexiou perfectly balances the complex emotions that drive a man to take the most drastic measures available.
We're proud to present the first teaser for Alexiou's latest work. Take a look below.
