Gizmodo has been running a cool selection of articles on the IMAX format and its camera etc.
It’s well worth a read.

Gizmodo Goes To IMAX
5:13 Is Officially Complete
It has been a long weekend here in the UK, just like in the US and I’ve never spent so much time offline as I have over the last few days getting 5:13 finished.
And it is.
Last night, Ali Maggs and I watched the film through for the very last time right down to the last [...]
V Reboot By ABC
The one & only thing I can remember from this show (I was too young to watch it at the time) was how they called french kissing “lizard kissing”.
The reboot looks good, with similar themes to Caprica, though perhaps not as intellectually stimulating in its debate.
ABC has always paled to NBC but this looks [...]
Here Come The Last 4 Weeks
For the last 6 months, Ali & I have spent every weekend (and not forgetting the fact that he would be working on stuff alone during the week) cutting both movies, starting with 5:13, then moving over to The Joshua Tapes & finally back to 5:13.
What is left for us? This weekend we sync all [...]
Yasmin Ahmad To Direct "Go Thaddeus"
Just popped by Yasmin’s blog to read about this: http://yasminthefilmmaker.blogspot.com/
What excites me in particular about this is that to date, Yasmin has tacled very similar emotional themes, very Malaysian themes in all her movies, and it would be great to see her direct what in essence could turn to be something like ‘The Loneliness Of [...]
We’ve Got To Do Something About The Cinema Chains In Malaysia

The cinema chains in Malaysia do nothing for local indie cinema, they make no effort to team up with the filmmaking [...]
Cut : WC2H
So look, my blog is primarily for me to talk about my work, cinema, telly & tech but I could not help but blog about this. It’s tough times for a lot of people at the moment, especially small businesses, and this was one I could not help but try and get the word out [...]
The Road
There has been a lot of attention on this book this year, not just because of the impending release of the formidable movie adaptation form John Hillcoat. Seems McG gave this to Christian Bale as reading material in preparation for John Connor.
Anyways, this movie has been a long time coming, and knowing Hillcoat he’ll stand [...]
Don’t Comb The Leprechaun
It’s only him & Springsteen that help me with writers block. All I have to do is put one of their records on.
After June
The end of June marks the end of work on both 5:13 & The Joshua Tapes. I will be flying back to Malaysia for a short break & the completed films and their respective trailers will be coming back with me.
Here in England, we will begin work on submitting 5:13 to a variety of festivals [...]
