- YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE is a heartfelt screenplay about finding the courage to change and fall in love again after life (and others) had let you down... Through the four female characters of the film (Emily, an 18 year-old aspiring model, Ellen a not-so-typical American-Greek housewife from Astoria, Rebecca, a NY socialite, Betty, a down-an-out on her luck TV presenter), we begin to understand the complexity of the everyday challenges and the relationship issues they are facing (one out of eight women is going to face the challenge of breast cancer). And hopefully, we can transform ourselves, alter our perspective, and, ultimately, change our own complicated and distorted relationship and attitude towards breast-cancer patients. The mood, pace and overall tone of the film is unique since it is elevated far above the drama of the four leading female characters. They are searching for the light in the end of the tunnel. They remain optimistic and humorous even in the worst of circumstances and challenges they are facing.

- The television series is loosely based on the film "Loufa kai paralagi" (1984) which covered the lives of the soldiers and officers involved in the first stages of development of Greek television. The first Greek television programs were produced by a station directly under the ownership, supervision and staffing of the Greek Army. Which was appropriate since the historic period of the events were the years of the Greek military dictatorship (1967 - 1974). Both the film and the series also examine the various effects of the dictatorship on Greek life both in and outside the army. But while the film was relatively short, the series further expands on the characters and their personal lifes and outlouks.
