Christina Tryphonos was born on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. This event shocked her since she does not like the Mediterranean temperatures or the Mediterranean temperament. Thankfully she doesn’t notice much since she spends most of her time on other worlds. She is an avid reader of all types of literature and an avid watcher of films and tv series. She got used to Cyprus as well since the food is quite excellent. When she is not too engrossed in her fictional travel she takes time to actually work, she has been part of the film and TV industry in Cyprus for 12 years now, mostly as a director and 1st AD, but has also ventured into script editing and script writing when opportunities arose. Christina aspires to write and direct compelling character driven stories like the ones she has spent so much time consuming.

Andreas was born and raised in Limassol, Cyprus in 1984. He studied

acting in Athens, Greece where he received a BA(Hons) in Performing Arts

awarded from Queen Margaret University of Edinburgh.

He took his first steps in acting while still being a student in 2 major shows.

One in theatre and one in TV. After returning to his maternal Cyprus he

worked for the Cyprus Theatre Organisation and most other major theatre

companies. Soon he followed his stage debut by co-starring in many local

Television and Cinema productions.

In 2014 he moved in London to perform for the Royal Academy of Dramatic

Arts and in a dance theatre show produced by the Leeds University that

toured in many European cities. He considers his most proud moment on

stage to date, when he was cast by a multinational theatre company to

perform in “The Trojan Women” in the ancient theatre of Delphi in Greece.

In 2016 he co-founded Black Lemon Tv in Cyprus, to bring independent

and innovative productions targeting youth audiences using online

platforms. In his position as head producer he developed numerous

podcasts, short films and most recently a feature film that is scheduled to

premiere in festivals in early 2022.
