Carlos Marquez-Perez

Between 2010 and 2014, Carlos taught filmmaking at various institutes in Melbourne and regional Victoria. It was whilst teaching at the Melbourne CAE, that he met Christine, one of his students, who shared her intent to film Greek grandparents cooking their signature dishes. Carlos was subsequently invited to consult on the project. Given his love of food and his interest in collaborative projects, he immediately joined the team.

Carlos relished his Kali Orexi experience and the opportunity to pursue the worthy task of documenting the true champions of Greek cuisine – Greek grandparents, their stories and their recipes. He also savoured the eating component … when the photographic stills of the finished dish were completed and everyone got to ‘dig in’!
