Introduce Yourself : Hi! by Gentian Gjikopulli

Gentian Gjikopulli

Hi!

Hi all! I’m Gentian Gjikopulli from Albania. Originally an art graduate, with a 20 some years of experience into advertising and tv-spots, lately deeply immersed in screenwriting and filmmaking. I’ve already written and directed one Feature, four Shorts and a documentary. I’m currently developing a Feature and working from time to time with several shorts, which I really enjoy writing. Teacher of painting, drawing and an instructor of editing from many years now, I always wanted to be able to tell stories inspired by real events with a pinch of bitter-sweet, fictional point of view.

Shellie Schmals

Hi Gentian - Welcome to Stage 32! With all of your experience, you are a fantastic asset to our community. Looks like you've already found the screenwriter's lounge! And I'm so interested to see what kind of storytelling you've got in mind. Any historical eras in particular that you are interested in researching?

Gentian Gjikopulli

Hi Shellie and thanks for reaching out. I’m interested in local, nowdays stories, that hsve an international impact on large audiences. As a matter of facts, I find myself being a novice in the industry. The films I’ve already made are experimental at some point, mixing different points of view and genres in the same place. So, in this terms, I’d like not to experiment, but rather to gain an experience, writing standard industry screenplays with some touch of abstract in it. I prefer Drama and Thriller, but I’m curious to try a Drama Satire, which I already have outlined a project that sounds interesting and compelling. But, as always, I’m short of funds and real support. It’s a pleasure to be here and let’s see what’s happen. Bye Shellie

Christiane Lange

Gentian Gjikopulli I have visited once, many years ago, and guessed from the name. One of my favorite books as a kid was The Count of Monte Christo, so it was quite magical to pass by Ali Pasha's castle in the water on the way from Sarandi to Himara. Besides I live in Greece, so we are neighbors, and I know a couple of people in Tirana.

Gentian Gjikopulli

Yasu vre Christiane! Hierome ia tin gnorimia. I wish sometime we meet in Greece, or here in Albania, to talk about Dumas, Hugo e ta ipolipa. N’aste kala ke kales diakopes.
