Iwan Koreng

Iwan Koreng, a name that’s been bouncing around in indie film circles lately, is the one behind Gundik (2025) and Sumala (2024). If you haven’t heard of him yet, well, you probably will soon, because his work’s got this vibe that sticks with you. Gundik, honestly, takes you for a ride—it's gritty, a little weird, and not afraid to get its hands dirty. You can tell Koreng’s not here to play it safe. The story’s got this raw edge, diving deep into the mess of human relationships and the chaos that comes with chasing redemption. The characters feel like people you might actually know, not just cardboard cutouts. Sumala, on the other hand, just hits different. It’s quieter, more introspective, but still packs a punch. Koreng’s got this knack for pulling out the tension in the little moments—awkward silences, glances that say way more than words. The way he handles the emotional beats? Kinda impressive, honestly. You watch these folks stumbling through grief and hope, and it just feels real. The cinematography, too—let’s just say someone on that crew knows how to frame a shot. There's this sense of place, almost like the setting’s a character in its own right. Koreng’s style isn’t flashy, but man, it lingers. If you’re into films that actually make you think (and maybe squirm a bit), keep an eye on his stuff.
