Francesco Calderone, better known by his screen name Ramon Mazinga, is a writer, director, and TV host. His career began in 2008 with two significant achievements: receiving the “Oilily Award” at the “I’ve Seen Films” festival, judged by industry luminaries including Richard Gere, Ridley Scott, Robert Rodriguez, and Rutger Hauer, and winning the “Young Director Project” organized by NBC Universal. Since then, Francesco has worked on several film projects, documentaries, TV series, and books in different capacities (writer, producer, director, editor, etc.). His most recent accomplishment is from 2018, when he wrote, directed, and hosted “WorkTrotter”, a 12-episode docufiction series shot across the USA, Canada, and New Zealand and aired by RAI, Italy's national public broadcasting company. Currently, Francesco is working on a slate of new projects that span from factual to fiction, consistently exploring themes that have become his signature. The common threads tying his work together are elements of adventure, humor, philosophy, introspection, and existentialism, reflecting his unique approach to storytelling that blends entertainment with deeper, more contemplative elements.
