"...An award-winning
artist in multimedia, an internationally published cartoonist,
Manick Sorcar spends his days as president and chief electrical
engineer of Butterweck-Sorcar Engineering in Denver. During the
nights, Sorcar follows his artistic sides.
...Sorcar came to the United States in 1970 as a student. He
earned a master's degree in electrical engineering....within two
years of his start with Howard Butterweck & Company, Sorcar
was promoted to vice president. Two years later he became a partner.
The company incorporated and changed its name to Butterweck-Sorcar
Engineering Inc .... His work included the lighting design for
all three concourses at Denver International Airport (a $6 billion
dollar USA Govt. project) and fire alarm and security system for
the Denver Convention Center....

| ....Recently Sorcar released 'The Woodcutter's Daughter', which
was based on a classic book of children's fables from his native
country of India. Sorcar's fourth television production incorporated
live action and animation through the tale, which was intended
as a cultural bridge to take the English speaking audience to
introduce viewers to the simplicity of village life, native culture
and a fairy tale of another land. It was produced in Sorcar's
Arvada studio...Prior to 'The Woodcutter's Daughter', Sorcar had
other award-winning animated/live action videos including 'Deepa
& Rupa: A Fairy Tale From India' which received several awards
and beat out 'Sesame Street' in the 33rd annual International
Film Festival of New York." |
