    NEW YORK --

    International film and creative studio BUNKER has added director Albert Kodagolian to its roster for commercials and branded content in the U.S. His credits include the notable Budweiser Super Bowl spot “Journey” as well as storytelling for brands such as Sony Bravia, Nissan, MasterCard, PNC Bank and Levi’s. Kodagolian’s work has been recognized at award competitions including the D&AD’s, Clios, Kinsale, ADDY, Kodak/BAFTA and the AICP Show.

    Kodagolian attended the University of Southern California where he developed his craft and premium look as a cinematographer on a number of independent feature films. Finding that short-form storytelling was a natural strength, he moved to London, learning from leading directors at RSA London. It was during his time in Europe that he honed in on his signature style of melding striking performances with thoughtful and precise storytelling. 

    His Moving On was shortlisted for Best European Short Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival and the Kodak/BAFTA awards and it was selected to be a part of the prestigious Britspotting tour representing British culture across Europe.

    Somewhere Beautiful is Kodagolian’s first full length feature film. It premiered at the Sao Paulo International Film Festival in official competition, and won the Audience Choice Award at the Pomegranate Film Festival in Toronto.

    Prior to joining BUNKER, Kodagolian was repped for spots by production house Interrogate.

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    When Willem Dafoe enjoys working with a filmmaker, he'll often jump at the chance to do it again.

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman." So, when he wants to do this passion project and offers me this beautiful role of Professor Von Franz, I say,... Read More
