About Ralph Murphy: Crafting Cinematic Stories with Artistry and Humor

A native of Brooklyn, NY, and raised on Long Island, Ralph Murphy's journey is a fusion of artistic passion and dedication. Graduating from S.U.N.Y. Farmingdale with a degree in Commercial Art, Murphy initially ventured into a career with the NYPD, focusing on forensics. However, the pull of his true passion for acting and cinematography proved irresistible.

Inspired by luminaries like Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese, Murphy embarked on a transformative chapter at the Hollywood Film Institute, where he refined his craft and honed his skills. His diverse background encompasses not only the meticulous world of forensics but also the vibrant realm of stand-up comedy, where he's showcased his talents for the troops through the USO and graced the stage of "The View."

Today, Ralph Murphy is the driving force behind 1013 Films, a small, handpicked film production company that prides itself on trusted collaborations. With a distinctive blend of artistic flair and a penchant for humor, Murphy brings a unique perspective to storytelling, weaving narratives that captivate and entertain. His journey is a testament to the power of following one's true calling, and through 1013 Films, he continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema.
