It is especially pleasant to talk about young directors who make modern films. One of these is Roman Karimov. Roman's films are little known as he is only making a name for himself. Few people know that the young man, a lawyer by education, writes scripts and acts in films, and is also fond of music. His track record is insignificant, but his work has already managed to captivate viewers and critics. So who is Roman Karimov?

I'm the most ordinary boy

Roman was born in 1984 in Ufa. From his school years, he did not experience difficulties in his studies, and therefore he graduated from school with an honors student. All roads were open to the young man: Roman Karimov had every chance 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 he doubtedonly Roman: what to do next, where to look for yourself? Lawyer, financier, accountant, auditor … Each of these professions, which he mastered with ease, required routine monotony and focused attention. He needed something else. More creative activity, the work of the creator and creator.

Dream Call

He soon found her quickly. Roman Karimov got a job as a DJ in a nightclub 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 a thousand office workers of his own kind. He firmly decided to do only what is closest to him. For example, composing music for trailers and short films.

Find yourself

Roman moves to London. He dreams of a better life, and of what he will achieve in the English capital. But apart from a car wash, construction sites and restaurants, Foggy Albion had nothing to offer. The local channel Viasat vacates the post of production editor and then promo producer for Roman. In addition, the young man shoots trailers for upcoming films and produces short films for the BBC. But this does not suit the ambitious guy. Two years later, Karimov returns to Moscow and realizes that there is no better place than the capital.

Start: Featurettes

A young man finds himself where he can be useful. The idea to create short films appears on the native land. And a new Roman Karimov is born. The films he will make in the next few years will bedevoted to the problems of youth - a topic that is most understandable and close to him. “Don't worry!”, “Optimist” and “Apartment 29” almost immediately win the sympathy of critics and win prizes at film festivals. The last picture tells about friends who have known each other since childhood. Now fate brings two different people together - a district police officer and a drug dealer. Director Roman Karimov himself admits that he chose this topic not by chance. He wanted to offer his own variation of such a widespread social ailment as drug addiction.

He also says he is neutral about education. So, Roman never studied directing; to everything that he can, he reached himself. At the same time, Karimov rarely watched films by eminent directors from whom he could learn something. The main thing, he believes, is the desire to do what you love, which in the end will definitely find its audience. In 2008, Roman became the promotional director of the film "Platon" with the participation of Pavel Volya.

Golden mean: full success

In 2010, Roman's first feature film was released. The drama "Inadequate People" with a modest budget of 100 thousand dollars brought in six times more profit. The release of the picture became a sensation in the Moscow beau monde: Roman Karimov is now the object of gossip and talk, and his film wins several awards at the Window to Europe festival.

The next work, the painting “Shattered”, 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: Ravshana Kurkova, Artem Tkachenko, Nikita Duvbanov,Alexander Dulshchikov. The film “Shattered” participates in the Kinotavr program.

Still ahead

In 2013, a new work of young talent is released. And again successful. The crime comedy "Everything at once" tells the story of a group of unsuccessful gangsters who decide to stage a robbery in order to get a solid jackpot. Of course, on the way to we alth, they will meet many funny curiosities …

After such projects, the name of this man deserves respect. Without the necessary education and sufficient experience, Karimov Roman Leonidovich makes high-quality, interesting films, which with each new film raises him one step higher. A promising filmmaker will again offer us an exciting and such an ordinary story, beaten with easy ease and a lot of good humor.
