Daniel Cherbuin
Born 1971 in Zofingen, Switzerland
Lives and works in Zurich.
Daniel Cherbuin learned audio-video electronics ab initio. At the beginnings of commercial television he was the creative force of Sputnik-TV, an innovative and experimental channel emerging from Zurich’s underground techno scene. Cherbuin has been converting music into clips and visuals in ingenious ways for numerous bands, namely Yello and Division Kent. Various collaborations with Thomas Haemmerli, for art and experimental films and even one cine-film. For umpteen years Cherbuin has been staging the intersection of alternative art spaces and underground parties with his video installations. In doing so Cherbuin’s oeuvres impress with highly innovative montages, idiosyncratic alliances of images, as well as an anarchic tenor: with irony, and pastiche Cherbuin is mocking the blasé in commerce and culture and smoothes the sublimes and ponderous of the art system away. With all that experience and talent, we truly believe in his skills as director for projects that are anything but run-of-the-mill.

Combo
The two Swiss friends and colleagues Roman Peritz and Siro Micheroli together make up a dynamic directing duo. Siro, who comes from the world of photography, has the style and the eye for creating aesthetic, moving images, while Roman brings to the table the necessary know-how for good resolutions and stories thanks to his background as a cutter.
Over the last few years, Combo has produced some successful ads in addition to well-known Swiss music videos.

Hans Kaufmann
Hans Kaufmann, came to us on work experience in 2010, after having completed an internship as a photographic assistant with Jonathan Heyer (thanks for the recommendation, Joni!).
He scouted locations right from the outset and we were pretty flabbergasted with the images he came back with in Production – great. The week after, he took over the ‘Making of…’ on filming the WM Billboards. He went it alone with the filming and editing, and once again made our collective jaw drop! The ZHDK also recognised his talent and he has been studying there since autumn 2010. We have already made web films (Clientis) as well as case studies (Stop Aids, Coop Remote, etc.) with him and are convinced that whoever is brave enough to entrust an advertising spot to him will be rewarded with a wonderful film.
