About Petros Kasfikis

Foreign News Correspondent and Documentary Filmmaker reporting from Washington, D.C, for major Greek and Cypriot outlets, covering U.S. politics and international affairs with a creative, human-centered lens. I grew up on a small Greek island, where an early attempt to fund my first movie — selling my parents’ books on the street — caused trouble but sparked a lifelong passion for storytelling. That same mix of initiative and creativity continues to inspire me to go the extra mile in pursuing impactful stories and ideas. For nearly a decade, I have worked at the intersection of journalism and documentary production, reporting from Washington on U.S. foreign policy. As a foreign correspondent, I cover the State Department, the White House, and Capitol Hill, providing analysis on issues shaping transatlantic relations and global affairs. My reporting spans breaking news and high-level diplomacy, including interviews with heads of state, senior policymakers, and cultural leaders. Alongside my reporting, I produce documentaries and long-form features, managing every stage of production — from research and fact-checking to filming, editing, and delivery. I am also the founder of Genesis Pictures, a video production company blending cinematic storytelling with journalistic rigor.This dual experience in frontline reporting and production enables me to balance logistical precision with creative execution, whether working independently or part of a team. While I thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments, my core passion lies in crafting compelling, human-centered narratives. Whether interviewing policymakers or reporting breaking news, I aim to reveal the real-world impact of policies on people’s lives. I believe stories have the power to inspire, inform, and drive meaningful change.I chose this career because I find purpose in creating work that has impact, and I remain committed to making a difference — one story at a time.Feel free to connect with me here or reach out via email at p••••••••@gmail.com
