Germán Correa

Born in the countryside, raised in the city, and living behind a camera.

Germán Correa began his studies at the University of Panama, but from childhood, he was always intrigued by the magic of cinema. After winning second place in a competition at his college, he decided to found, along with his best friends, the small film studio known today as Slappers Studios, where he works as Director of Photography and editor, and also assists with directing and screenwriting. He has distinguished himself as Director of Photography on works such as "Rojo (2022)," which won two awards at "Panalandia" and one at the University of Panama's short film competition. He later directed and photographed "Acepto (2023)" and "Estancado (2023)," both of which received honorable mentions at GECU. That same year, he was the cinematographer for "Tú (2023)," directed by Nitson D. Carmona Solis, a short film that earned them another award at the short film competition. In 2025, he directed two short films: "The Man of My Dreams," for which he was the cinematographer, and "Adiós con Desprecio," which earned him the award for Best National Director at The Panama Series Festival. "Adiós con Desprecio" also won two additional awards: Best Actor and Best National Short Film.

Currently, Germán Correa continues to work as a director of photography at Slappers Studios, and upcoming projects with Diciembre Films are expected.
