Dor Film

The COURAGE to be brave

Producer Danny Krausz on CHUCKS

I already got to know the creative originality of the director duo Hiebler-Ertl in their first feature film “nogo,” which I produced in 2000.

Their screenplay for CHUCKS impressed me deeply, and I had a vision that it would make a very good film.

In CHUCKS people face their destinies; there is no complaining. I find that fantastic. I rarely see such figures in our films. They give people – and especially young people – the courage to be brave when interacting with each other. To me that is perhaps the most important and wonderful thing about this movie.

The stylistic self-confidence of the cinematographer Wolfgang Thaler is as magnificent as it is organic. I am grateful to him for the opportunity to make this movie together.

Dor Film stands for a wide range of entertainment, but films from “The Unintentional Kidnapping of Elfriede Ott” or “Life Eternal” to CHUCKS have one thing in common: They are emotionally moving Austrian films.

Every young person who even thinks about this film for just a few minutes and in doing so laughs and cries is someone for whom we want to have made this movie.
