Tshering Wangyel

Died in 2015

Tshering Wangyel was born in 1971 or 1972 and worked at the Ministry of Agriculture before turning to cinema. After this first film, in 1999, he directed more than forty, at a pace of at least two a year, and in 2007 produced Bakchha, presented as the country's first horror film. The AFP sees in his cinema a blend of Bollywood and Buddhism, which turned part of the audience away from Indian films and launched many actors. He died in December 2015, at forty-three.
