Tony Asimakopoulos is a Montreal-based Canadian film director, cinematographer and freelance editor of Greek origin. He often collaborates with the Montreal-based Canadian film production company EyeSteelFilm. He is best known for his autobiographical documentary ''Fortunate Son''. ==Career== He was born Antonios Asimakopoulos to Greek parents Aristomenis and Vassiliki Asimakopoulos, who had immigrated to Canada and resided in Montreal. The Greek-Canadian Asimakopoulos, their only son, studied at Montreal's Concordia University earning a degree in film production in 1993. His short film ''Jimmy Fingers'' was awarded the "Prix de le Rélève", for most promising Quebec filmmaker, at the 1991 ''Festival de jeune cinema'' in Montreal. This was followed by his short ''Mama's Boy'', that screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and in Montreal, Locarno, Göteburg and Melbourne. He moved to Ottawa in 1995 to enter treatment for drug addiction and alcoholism. Soon after, he was featured in the documentary ''Confessions of a Rabid Dog'' directed by a fellow recovering addict, John L'Ecuyer. After developing and teaching a video apprenticeship program for youth-at-risk, he resumed his own work with ''Horsie's Retreat'', a dramatic feature made at the Canadian Film Centre in 2004, and the Global Television docudrama series ''Canadian Case Files'' in 2005 and 2006. His work as an editor includes the ground-breaking 2009 EyeSteelFilm documentary feature ''RiP!: A Remix Manifesto'', and the 2011 autobiographical bilingual documentary film ''Fortunate Son'' being a candid look at his relations with his own family.〔(''Montreal Gazette'': Montreal success story Fortunate Son moves to bigger digs at Cinema du Parc )〕〔(Cinéflic.com: Review of ''Fortunate Son {Le fils béni'' ) 〕〔(KlimkiwFilmCorner - Review of ''Fortunate Son'' )〕 Asimakopoulos has also produced several comedy videos for the CBC Radio One program ''WireTap''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Asimakopoulos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
