Last night I had some close friends round for a private screening of 5:13. Funnily enough, it has been months now since I’ve actually looked at either of the 2 films I have worked on over the past year and a half, so it was with almost fresh eyes that I made the observation as [...]
Write the truth, confront the truth and your writing will ring true. I’ve always been told that by people I admire when I’ve had the chance to come into contact with them.
As a writer, and coming from a country like Malaysia, I’ve oftentimes self-censored subconciously, driven by fear, censorship issues, heck even personal opinion.

So been here at Ali’s since yesterday, hot housing on simple apps. In fact, we’re knocking one out here within 24 hours which has been a lotta fun. At the same time we discussed the major app we start work on come January, which truly is going to be something new and exciting.

Before I kick off the review, again, I promise I am not turning into a review site, it’s just that I’ve been watching stuff that I really like and wanna talk about. I have been busy working. My main projects at the moment, besides getting 5:13 and The Joshua Tapes ready for release are story [...]
I have been watching a lot of movies in the last few weeks, hence the review posts and this one is no exception. Last year, one of the great films that I was not expecting was ‘Taken’. What seemed like it was going to be an almost B-Grade action thriller, turned out to be a [...]
I’m not usually a big fan of short films. Most of the time they fall short of my expectations, and especially when they’re from first time directors. And if it’s a first time director doing a horror short, then it is very rare that the short is any good.
