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

It's especially pleasant to talk about young filmmakers who shoot modern cinema. 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 even 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 had not had any difficulties in studying, and therefore graduated from the school with a high achiever. Before the young man all roads were opened: Roman Karimov had all the chances to go further, encroach, for example, on graduate school, but he wanted to start living an adult, independent life as soon as possible.

The choice of a higher educational institution fell on the Institute of Economics 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 monotony 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 happen 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 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 realizes that there is no place better than the capital.

Beginning: short films

A young man finds himself where he can come 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 sympathy of critics and receive prizes at film festivals. The last picture tells of friends who were familiar from childhood. Now the destiny confronts 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 such a widespread public ailment as drug addiction.

And he says that he is neutral about education. 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 ultimately 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, released the first feature-length film by Roman. Drama "Inadequate people" with a modest budget of 100 thousand dollars brought a profit of six times more. The exit of the picture was a sensation in the Moscow beau monde: Roman Karimov is now the object of gossip and talk, and his tape takes several awards at the festival "Window to Europe."

The next work, the painting "Smacks", is in no way inferior to the previous one. The film is presented in the genre of absurd-black hard comedy. Actors Karimov selects mainly from young stars: Ravshan Kurkova, Artem Tkachenko, Nikita Duvbanov, Alexander Dulshchikov. The painting "Vrebbezgi" participates in the program "Kinotavr".

Still ahead!

In 2013, a new work of young talent. And again successful. The criminal 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 person deserves 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. A prospective cinematographer will more than once offer us an exciting and such a routine story, played with light ease and a great deal of good humor.
