Biography

Roman Anastasios is a graduating director from the Victorian College of Arts, having just completed a Bachelor in Film and Television.

With a background in cinematography, Roman boasts a keen visual literacy that champions itself on connecting with that which makes us most human. These elements are vivid through his work as a director of photography and have carried over into his career as a director.

With his work in the short-form space garnering millions of views online worldwide, which has led to successful music video work, award-winning collaborations, and working alongside a talented new generation of cinematographers and actors.

Drawn to big stories deserving of an even bigger stage, his recent brooding work feels to homage greats such as Villeneuve and Cary Joji Fukunaga.

From the Judges, on THE MEDIATOR (2025)

From the Judges, on THE MEDIATOR

A tense, tightly wound piece that holds you inside a single charged encounter and keeps the pressure building. Intense, creative writing anchors it, brought to life by smooth camera movements and blocking and framing that quietly map the shifting power between the characters. The panel found the craft assured throughout, from the production design to the score and sound design, with performances that felt professional and believable.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
