The year [[1970]] marked his debut as a stage director with the play Marijuana Stop. Following the end of commercial cinema in Greece, he moved on to TV ([[1974]]), writing and directing Luna Park, which ran successfully for several years. Another popular series of his was The Lion Cubs. In the early eighties and until 1985, filmgoers flocked to the movie theaters to watch his films about the problems faced by the younger generation, the first of which was The Jackals, in [[1981]]. Starting in [[1986]] he began making films on video and worked on series made for private television.
