Ghostbusters Mania is proud to present  N°25 (2012)  "Interviews Ghostheads" Fabrizio Fioretti   creator of amazing CGI Ghostbusters

Hi Fabrizio, tell us something about you, your hobbies and passions.
Mainly, I am a 3D artist. I specialized in the 3D field after I obtained a diploma in arts at the Istituto d’Arte of Ancona, city where I grew up and lived for many years.
Since I was a kid, like many people from my industry, I always had a passion for comics, cinema and illustration. These passions and a desire for experience pushed me to move to the UK in 2007 where I still live with my fiancee’ Irena.
After arriving here in London, I started working for an advertising studio and two years ago I stepped into the cinema industry by working at BlueBolt vfx as a visual effects artist.

How was the passion for GB born?
When I was 5 I saw the movie in the theaters and I was like “soooo cool” During the years after, even when I was in living in the Dominican Republic, they would show it on HBPO an I was also tune in to watch it and even act out the movie with my twin brother. I was always Egon, because he would get the chocolate bar lol. After I got back to the states I started watching the cartoons every chance I got and get some of the toys. And my love for the ghostbusters never stopped.

I'm a 23 year old aspiring film maker and with that comes a horde of other hobbies such as writting, prop building, editing and effects work, and other media related things. I also like to draw and hope to at the very least just work in some sort of art related field. Including, graphics work.

How was the passion for GB born?
I've loved Ghostbusters for as long as I can remember. Ghostbusters 2 was releases shortly after I was born and was part of modern media pop culture at the time I was being raised, as well as the cartoon series. Somewhere a video tape exists here I'm only 2 years old, wearing the kenner pack and rolling out the pack. Even at that age I'm quoting Ghostbusters 2, 'We be fast and they be slow!' My love has yet to hinder. I've gone to get involved with the prop building and franchising, as well as collecting the comics and matty collectibles. The past fe years have been good ones to be a Ghostbusters fan.
