About us
Mompracem was founded in 2016 by Antonio and Marco Manetti, known as Manetti bros., producer Carlo Macchitella and Beta Film. What bonds the group is their big passion for cinema.
Among Mompracem’s main goals is to offer opportunities to emerging directors and developing projects which combine entertainment and quality.
Mompracem’s main feature is a dynamic production, a genuine workshop of ideas, that operates and works outside the most traditional scheme, without losing sight of the main objective: the quality of entertainment.
