So funnily enough the lack of posts for a few days has not been due to a lack of things to blog about, but rather because I’ve been trying to start lining up all the elements for this new project. On top of that, I’ve been in the usual freelancer zone of making sure all [...]
So we’ve finally been offered a slot by Golden Screen Cinemas in Malaysia. After an atrocious lack of communication from Cathay, GSC has come back with a solid slot for us to consider and confirm.
So what’s the ballgame now?
Well we gotta secure a distributor. Bahir is going to make a decision as to if or [...]
Most filmmakers have heard the saying “You can’t make a film by committee”. Whilst there may be execs, producers, studio heads and whole plethora of people who will have something to say, in the end it essentially boils down to the intentions of the director and the writers.

Been having a bit of a to and fro with myself about what I am really interested in being. I mean yes, in essence a filmmaker’s job is to be a storyteller (well some would argue that with me I know), but there is also the issue of how do I want to tell stories.
I’m [...]
So I got my pitch uploaded to the site of the Your Big Break and would really appreciate it if you guys would drop by and give me a vote. There are 5 finalists that will be selected to head on down to New Zealand and shoot their shorts. 1 will be determined by public [...]
