I am not just created, manufactured, conditioned and bred for a function
I am a human who feels and I have opinions and beliefs.
My manifesto is quite simple, I will undertake any project to the maximum of my abilities
I strive for depth and character in every single project I undertake and always try to keep
a high visual caliber to everything you love.
IDENTITY & PURPOSE
Visual Caliber operates as an independent production house in Nicosia, Cyprus, though ‘operates’ is an odd way to put it, given that filmmaking is hardly a linear process and ‘house’ might be a misnomer if one thinks of production as confined to a building. The truth is Visual Caliber is a name used by the DOP Costas Drakos to work under. Sometimes joined by other people, sometimes not.
As a creator, I direct, imagine, and occasionally wrestle into existence films that aim to fulfill the unspoken but somehow universally agreed-upon desire for stories with impact—films for brands, for art, for the paradoxical worlds of advertising and documentary.
In this work, every narrative is a bit of an excavation, delving into that murky place where intention meets expression. The goal, such as it is, is not merely to inform or persuade but to reveal, to articulate something essential about the brand and to do so in a way that feels like anything but marketing—something more like truth
We mostly use our own equipment to shoot our films but we also rent equipment to other productions
