Upon returning home from "La Course destination monde 94-95", Ricardo Trogi began directing and producing a series of 10 short films, among which One Night, C'est arrivé près de chez nous and 2nd Chance, which was selected for "La Longue Nuit du court-métrage" in Cannes.
Seven years later, he finished his first feature film, Québec-Montréal, which he wrote with two of his long-time collaborators, Patrice Robitaille and Jean-Philippe Pearson. Québec-Montréal earned $1.4M at the box office, was selected as the opening night feature of the "Semaine du cinéma du Québec" in Paris, and was again presented at the "Festival du film francophone de Namur" where it was awarded the Bayard d'or for Best Screenplay, the Special Jury Prize, as well as the prize for Cinematography and Special Effects. At the 2003 Jutra Awards, Québec-Montréal took home four top prizes: Best Director, Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Isabelle Blais.
In 2005, Trogi directed Horloge Biologique, which he again co-wrote with Jean-Philippe Pearson and Patrice Robitaille. This huge hit successful brought in $4.4 million at the Quebec box office. It was presented at many festivals such as the Toronto, Miami, Montevideo, Santiago film festivals and was awarded the Olivier 2006 for Best Comedy.
Mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-un (1981) is Ricardo Trogi's third feature film, which he wholly wrote.
