Stan Harrington - Aussie Guerilla Filmmaker

Stan HarringtonBorn Stelios (Stan) Georgiadis in Melbourne Australia, Stan Harrington has mastered the art of Guerilla film making, producing 8 films with 2 more currently in production. His book, A Guerilla in the Midst published by the Sundance Media Group in April of 2007, is a how-to manual on low-no budget film making using his first feature "Bred In The Bone", as a blueprint. "Bred" also won Best in Show at the Action On Film Festival in 2005.

His affiliation with the Stella Adler Theater, Los Angeles has also provided his Xristos Productions with talented, young actors as well as solid veterans like Holland Taylor of Two and a Half Men, Adrian Zmed of GREASE 2 and John Saxon, from Enter The Dragon who plays Stan's father in his second feature The Craving Heart, which once again, despite it's budget, garnered twenty three nominations, and ten awards.

A huge 2010 sees the release of KERBEROS, a crime feature Stan stars in for Atlanta based genius, Kely McClung. SMALL DAYS, another film Stan directs and acts in, is produced together with Moonhill Productions and is in final post. Originally a critically acclaimed play that Timothy McNeil wrote and starred in with Christopher Thornton, Small Days was also the (stage) directorial debut of Mark Ruffalo. And finally,Stan is currently shooting CREED, a horror movie garnering an awful lot of underground attention which Stan believes is due to the raw approach he has to shooting coupled with the fact that the story is inspired by actual events. He calls this Vampire flick (with a difference), violent and sexy with an awesome story.
