Mario Addis

Overview

Mario Addis, born in Tempio Pausania, Sardinia, started working in 1984 as an animator in Michel Fuzellier and Giovanni Ferrari’s studio. In 1989, he founded the production studio Gertie together with Franco Serra and started working as a producer and director.

He directed several commercials, TV theme songs and video clips (he devised the opening credits of ‘Mostro’ by Roberto Benigni and the first video clip of ‘Voglia Di Gridare’ by Daniele Silvestri, an Italian singer). In 1999, Oreste Del Buono, director of Linus magazine, published his series on the vampire ‘Alef’, which ran for more than a year.

As an animator, he works with talented directors, such as Maurizio Nichetti, Dario Fo, Giulio Cingoli, Enzo D’Alò and Roberto Benigni.

With his animated works, he takes part in foreign productions, such as ‘The Fever’ by HBO, a film directed by Gabriel Carlo Nero, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Angelina Jolie.

He was in charge of the technical direction and supervision of the storyboard and backgrounds, the Lay-Outs and animation, and the colouring and compositing of the 26 episodes of the series ‘Adrian’, by Adriano Celentano, produced by Clan and Mediaset.

In 2015, he was awarded an Honorary Degree from the Scuola Nazionale di Cinema.

His latest works, which he created and directed, were ‘Robin Hood, raccontato da Veronica Pivetti’ (Robin Hood told by Veronica Pivetti), a one-hour TV movie, co-produced by Rai and Progetto Immagine, and ‘Pene e Cruditè’ (Pain and Crudités), a self-produced, three-minute short film.
