The Academy Of Koutroubis

Where disciplined artists are made — one frame at a time.

Cinema is more than an art form. It’s a craft. A language. A lifelong pursuit of truth through image and sound.

At The Academy of Koutroubis, we’re building a digital home for those who want to master that craft — not through shortcuts or surface-level tips, but through a complete cinematic education built on real-world structure, mentorship, and accountability.

Taught by Ioannis Koutroubis, an award-winning filmmaker and respected film educator with over 15 years of teaching experience, this academy brings the classroom to your screen — combining professional experience with the same clear, passionate, and proven methodology that has guided thousands of students into the world of film.
