Director Ivan Engler is communicator of the month
Swiss director Ivan Engler was named «Communicator of the Month» by the Swiss advertising association SW. His debut film, “Cargo,” won over critics and made waves all the way to Hollywood.
"Cargo" is a truly remarkable work, writes Piero Schäfer from SW in a press release on Monday. Viewers and critics are particularly impressed by the overwhelming look and sound costume of the film. You really feel like you're in a spaceship. The 38-year-old from Winterthur spent over a year working with designer Matthias Noger to virtually create his space station on the computer. "It is this sophisticated and meticulous style that has even met with a positive response and great interest from professionals in Hollywood," he continues. The Swiss director receives inquiries from producers almost daily. The industry interest is understandable when you know that Engler only had three million francs at his disposal for the realization of his work.
