Colorado film
   Production company. An independent production company formed in 1986 by director Gabriele Salvatores, actor Diego Abatantuono, and independent producer Maurizio Totti, Colorado Film has in its two decades of operation produced, either alone or in partnership, 17 feature films. These have included features by established directors such as Salvatores and Giuseppe Bertolucci but also a number of films by younger and relatively unknown directors such as Antonello Grimaldi, Alessandro Cappelletti, and Stefano Reali. In 1997 the company also opened an advertising branch, Colorado Commercials, which became an independent company in 2003. In 2004 Colorado Film established a publishing arm, Colorado Noir, with the aim of encouraging new crime fiction that could eventually be adapted for cinema. The first novel published by Colorado Noir, Grazia Verasani's Quo vadis, baby? (2004), has recently been been directed for the screen by Salvatores, in a coproduction between Colorado and Silvio Berlusconi's Medusa.
