Director Robert Rippberger to Launch SIE Films Sales Unit in Berlin, Fronted by New Project ‘Monstrosity’ (EXCLUSIVE)
U.S. director Robert Rippberger is set to launch a sales unit of his SIE Films at Berlin's EFM, fronted by his new movie 'Monstrosity.'
To create its titular monsters, Rippberger recruited concept artist Aaron Sims, whose work includes “Stranger Things,” “Ready Player One” and “Wonder Woman 1984.” Production on the film is expected to kick off later this year in one of the Morgan International full-service special effects facilities in Europe. There is also Austrian director Friedrich Moser’s previously announced feature documentary “How to Build a Truth Engine,” executive produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, which tackles investigative journalism and the fight against fake news by following award-winning journalists from the New York Times, the Associated Press and Austria weeklies Falter and Profil in their efforts to uncover corruption. He has directed docs “Public Enemy Number One” and “7 Days in Syria,” social drama “Strive” with Danny Glover and the 2022 horror-thriller “Those Who Walk Away” starring Booboo Stewart.
