Hollywood Based Metaphor Entertainment has wrapped filming of “December Riots” in Athens, while a second wave of riots swept Greece on December 6th, marking the two-year anniversary of the cold-blooded execution of 15 year-old student Alexander Gregoropoulos by two Athens policemen. “December Riots,” a film about the 2008 riots that followed the Gregoropoulos killing, is produced, written and directed by Dimitri Vorris. The filmmaker acquired exclusive access to many never-before-seen court documents from the trial that followed Gregoropoulos’s killing.
The thriller focuses on a group of Europeans and Americans trapped in an art-house movie theater in downtown Athens during the 2008 riots. Lucy Lemos, Abraham Papadopoulos, Michael “Angels” Andricopoulos, Nassos Pappas, Louise Rheas and more actors are among the talented cast. The film is independently financed by Metaphor Entertainment and United Arab Emirates-based Gulf Crown of the Sun.

“The fact that we’re having riots again now in iGreece, proves that people have not forgotten about Alexander or his senseless killing. There is still fury and rage that needs to be purged and there are still questions that need to be answered. While I can’t promise my film will answer any questions, I do hope ‘December Riots’ honors Alexander’s memory,” said Vorris, who’s now editing the film in Los Angeles.
