RICCARDO PAPA
Rome, Italy
I'm filmmaker, founder and CEO at "Grapevine Studio", a based in Rome independent film & video production company.
Between 2006 and 2012 I realized some commercials, documentaries, music videos and several shorts, receiving awards and recognition in Italy and abroad.
In 2011 I realized "La Fabbrica dei Volti Noti", selected to screening also at "Arcipelago Film festival" in Rome, at Clermont-Ferrand 2012, Brussels International Short Film Festival 2012 and Fantafestival 2012.
In 2013 I directed “Supermanz”, a film-documentary about social workers and troubled teenagers and, in the same year I'm awarded with the “Pro Arte 2013 – Eccellenza Italiane” prize from the “Forum Nazionale dei Giovani”, during the “Stati generali della cultura e del turismo” event.
In 2014, I take part in the 48 Hour Film Project with the western post -apocalyptic "Non uscirai vivo da questo mondo", a short film that won the award for the Best Use of the Genre (western), Best Costume Design and received a nomination for Best Director.
I was defined as a tireless dreamer, unconventional, provocative and deeply visionary, in possession of a personal and original poetic approaching universal social and human issues.
