"I am an Italian-American Filmmaker born in Rome, Italy, and am now located between the US and Europe. I grew up in the Cinecittà neighborhood of Rome, a world famous hub of Italian cinema and notably the largest film studio in Europe. By the time I was 4 years-old, I was already capturing images with my father’s Minolta Maxxum 7000. This obsession for taking photographs of my childhood toy cars, trucks, and soldiers in three dimensional spaces only grew into my adolescence. Before becoming a director, I forged a career as a successful Commercial and Advertising photographer in the States, capturing visually stunning images with my collaborations with brands big and small. Pivotal worldwide companies such as Apple, Fiat, HP, Footlocker, Dannon, Eataly, Peroni and Maserati. I like to balance my use of lighting with each of my subject’s environment, while focusing on the minute details and textures, trying to create images that are fun, vibrant and action-packed. There is continuity between my early photography and my current cinematic oeuvre: an interest in the bringing microscopic or ordinary objects and shining a spotlight on them; more specifically, capturing society’s biggest paranoias and reflecting them back onto mankind. I divide my…" Read more about Riccardo Suriano…

"As an independent Producer, Director, Editor, and Technical Director based in the San Francisco area since 1981, I have had the privilege of working on many interesting projects with some exceptionally talented people, as well as the great pleasure of winning a National Emmy Award. Along the way I have also had many opportunities to teach editors and technical directors all over the world, to work with software and hardware designers and engineers to develop new, or improve existing, products and tools for the film/video production industry, and to produce, direct and/or edit compelling and effective videos. Developing/conducting technical demonstrations/seminars in more than 22 countries on 5 continents, and teaching production to seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, as well as graduate students, although not at the same time, has been, and is, a genuine pleasure. Through it all, I have never lost my passion to take a good story and, using pictures and sound, tell it well. That is what I attempt in my work, no matter the genre, medium, or final audience.
