Zurich-based Manifesto builds advertising agency in Cologne

The Zurich-based spot production company Manifesto Films has had its own advertising agency built in Cologne. The reason: Reto Salimbeni is shooting a new movie. In the lead role, star actor Til Schweiger plays a successful advertiser who fails in his private life. The film for Universal Pictures in co-production with Til Schweiger, Indigo Motion Pictures, Erfttal Productions and RheingoldFilms has a budget of CHF 12 million and is being produced in English for the global market. The two Oscar nominees Eric Roberts and Michael Clarke Duncan can be seen in supporting roles. The set of the fake advertising agency was recreated in Germany's largest studio hall in Cologne, where Salimbeni spent four weeks working on "ONE WAY". Before that, the 50-strong team spent four weeks filming in Toronto. More about the filming in the next issue of Werbewoche.
