Roman Karimov: director, screenwriter, musician. Biography and the creative path of Roman Karimov

About the young filmmakers who shoot modern cinema,speak particularly pleasantly. One such is Roman Karimov. Roman's films are little known, as he only makes a name for himself. Few people know that a young man, a lawyer by education, himself writes scripts and is shot in paintings, and moreover he is fond of music. His track record is insignificant, but his work has already conquered viewers and critics. So who is Roman Karimov?

I'm just an ordinary boy!

The novel was born in 1984 in Ufa. Since school years, he did not experience difficulties in studying, and therefore graduated from the school with a high achiever. Before the young man all roads were opened: Roman Karimov had every chance to go further, to encroach, for example, on postgraduate study, but he wanted to start living an adult, independent life as soon as possible.

The choice of a higher educational institution fell on the instituteeconomy and informatics, for which Roman went to the capital. Here he quickly found friends and just as quickly mastered all the subjects. No one doubted that he had a red diploma in his hands. And even when it came true, it seems that only Roman doubted: what to do next, where to look for yourself? Lawyer, financier, accountant, auditor ... Each of these professions, which he easily mastered, required routine uniformity and focused attention. He needed something else. More creative activity, the work of the creator and creator.

Call of Dreams

He soon found it quickly. Roman Karimov settled into a nightclub as a DJ and realized that it was much more pleasant. Despite the "crusts" lying in the box, the young man was not going to become one of thousands of similar office workers. He firmly decided to deal only with what is closest to him. For example, to compose music for trailers and short films.

Find yourself

The novel moves to London. He dreams of a better life, and about what will be achieved in the English capital. But, apart from carwash, construction sites and restaurants, Foggy Albion could not offer anything. The local channel Viasat frees Roman for the place of the issuing editor, and then the promo producer. In addition, the young man removes trailers for outgoing films and produces shorts on the BBC. But this does not suit an ambitious guy. Two years later, Karimov returns to Moscow and understands that there is no place better than the capital.

Beginning: short films

A young man finds himself where he cancome in handy. On the native land there is an idea to create short films. And a new Roman Karimov is born. Films, which he will remove in the next few years, will be devoted to the problems of youth - the topic that is most understandable and close to him. "Do not worry!", "Optimist" and "Apartment 29" almost immediately win the sympathies of critics and receive prizes at film festivals. The last picture tells of friends who have known since childhood. Now fate is confronting two different people - a precinct and a drug dealer. Director Roman Karimov himself admits that he chose this topic not by chance. He wanted to offer his variation of a widespread public illness, such as drug addiction.

And he says that it relates to educationis neutral. So, Roman never studied directing; before everything that he can, he came himself. At the same time Karimov rarely watched the films of eminent directors, who could learn something from something. The main thing, he believes, is the desire to do what he loves, which eventually will find his audience. In 2008, Roman became a promo-director of the film with the participation of Paul Will "Plato".

The golden mean: a full success

In 2010, the first feature film was releasedRomana. The drama "Inadequate people" with a modest budget of 100 thousand dollars brought a profit six times more. The exit of the picture became a sensation in the Moscow beau monde: Roman Karimov is now the object of gossip and conversations, and his tape takes several awards at the "Window to Europe" festival.

Next work, the picture "Smacks", nothingis inferior to the preceding one. The film is presented in the genre of absurd-black hard comedy. Actors Karimov picks up mainly of young stars Ravshan Kurkova, Artyom Tkachenko Nikita Dyuvbanov Alexander Dulschikov. The painting "Vrebbezgi" participates in the program "Kinotavr".

Still ahead!

In 2013, a new work of young talent. And again successful. The crime comedy "All at Once" tells of a group of unsuccessful bandits who decided to stage a robbery in order to get a solid jackpot. Of course, on the way to wealth, they will meet a lot of funny curiosities ...

After such projects, the name of this persondeserves respect. Without the necessary education and sufficient experience, Roman Leonidovich Karimov shoots a qualitative, interesting movie, which with each new film raises it to a higher level. The perspective cinematographer will more than once offer us a fascinating and such ordinary story, played with light ease and a great deal of good humor.
