(Left-Right) Zan Azlee, Dr Marshall Clark, Elyna Shukri, Jajang C. Noer and Dr Sara Maxim, director of Centre of Southeast Asia Sudies Check out some interesting piece of writing from local Director, Zan Azlee.
The following is lifted from Malaysian Insider, where he has a column: APRIL 23 — I’m still suffering from the cold winds of the San Francisco Bay area. Most recently, after the screening of my films and lecture at University of California, Berkeley, I was part of a panel discussion entitled ‘Making movies in Indonesia and Malaysia”. Aside from me, the other panellists included the late Yasmin Ahmad’s producer, Elyna Shukri, and veteran Indonesian actress, Jajang C. Noer. It was moderated by Dr Marshall Clark from Deakin University in Australia. First of all, I was a little intimidated being in the presence of such experienced industry professionals. Elyna had produced some of Malaysia’s most thought-provoking films in recent history, while Jajang has starred in more films than the years I have been alive! WAMM looks different! My last banner sucked. I know. I kinda like the new one. What do you think?
Other than that, I'm sure most of you know by now that www.kakiseni.com will be ceasing their operations. I still remember it being my one and only resource for where to go and whats going on when I got out of school many, many years ago and ached to try my hand at theatre. It is a sad thing indeed to find that the site will soon merely be an archive of the last 9 years. That being said, instead of moping about. I will try to do more than just organise screenings every couple of months with Actors Studio. As you can see above, I will now attempt to update everyone who cares about AUDITIONS, SCREENINGS & EVENTS that may be of interest but are lesser known for whatever reason. Stuff you might have found on Kakiseni previously. Alas, I am just one guy, so I am calling out for contributors. You, the person organising all kinds of stuff - rather than just updating your own website and your own networks, why not join 1 common platform? Lets create one common platform. Lets get it made! What am I asking? Filmmakers, Event Organisers, Producers, Actors, Directors, Artists, Flea Market Vendors - everyone and anyone - join WAMM and as you are updating your website, why not update here as well? As the dude in the Jerry Maguire video said, "That's how you become great man...hang your balls out there..." The following is lifted from the FB Event Page. They'll be screening BABY THE RAIN WILL FALL and THE INVIGILATOR. 2 shorts that have been screened by WAMM in the past! Great stuff, go watch! Date: Saturday, 24 April 2010 Time: 15:00 - 16:30 Location: 1 Utama New Wing The following is lifted from an email I received, if you're looking for another screening, go check this one out!
