Michele Granata

After graduating from classical high school, I graduated in Philosophy at the Faculty of Studies in Padua with a thesis on the Image-Movement by Gilles Deleuze and its conceptual implications in the philosophical field, with advisor Adone Brandalise. He moved me to Rome and completed my studies with a master's degree in Cinema, Television and Multimedia Production at the faculty of Rome 3 where I graduated in July 2017 with a thesis on the characters of Italian cinema with supervisor Stefania Parigi. After several works on the sets, I begin my experience as a self-taught director with small commercials, video clips and experimental short films. I write for various film critic sites and in 2016 I founded a small independent production house: La Ricotta Produzioni. Among my experiences there are three teen TV series produced by Stand By me as first assistant and / or second assistant director (Sara and Marti, Halloweird, Jams 4), first assistant for the Male Singular film directed by Alessandro Guida and Matteo Pilati and planner for the Mtv Involontaria TV series. My first short film Servi di bicycles wins several Italian film festivals and gets as many special mentions (Napoli Cultural classic, Pigneto Film Festival, Longless Film Festival, Noto International Film Festival, BCT film festival etc) and prepares me to land in the world of documentary with Meno maciste (currently being edited) produced by Gradiva Film and distributed by Pathos film. Also for Gradiva film I shot the short film Smalto, currently in distribution.
