Here's a little Behind-the-Scenes video from Khairil M.Bahar's latest flick : "Relationship Status".
Visit their website to find out more. The following exerpt lifted from www.thescriptlab.com is quite a useful guide to writing a screenplay. I also believe that some of it's philosophies can be put into general script writing for theatre. So have a look-see: "There are many parts to building a screenplay. It's a mistake to think you just sit down and write one. A screenplay, like an automobile, has many components, and they must be arranged and fastened in the right places. There are thousands of parts to a car, as is the case with the construction of a screenplay. However, all of those thousands come from these ten major building blocks. Take care of these ten screenplay essentials, and you will - without a doubt - end up with a better script." If you came to the Khairil M.Bahar showcase we had last month, you would know a little bit about RELATIONSHIP STATUS - his new flick, which is being filmed right now! Here are some exerpts from the official website: "Written and directed by Khairil M. Bahar (Ciplak, 15Malaysia),Relationship Status is a film that could have only been written in the 21st century.Based on the numerous options available on sites such as Facebook, Relationship Status tells the story of a number of KL-ites from all walks of life whose relationships are created, changed and sometimes even ruined by social networking and the way we communicate in this day and age." Here are some helpful links to check out about the film! http://relationshipstatusmovie.tumblr.com/ and Relationship Status on Facebook.Too lazy to go to another site? Click below to check out some pictures lifted from their facebook page. WAMM: Thank God for the break from American accents--a breath of fresh air. Where did you get your English twang from? Can you speak proper Manglish if you wanted to?
Khai: Haha! I don't really know if I have an English twang, it jumps from one to the other depending on who I talk to. When I first grew up in England between 1 and 6 I've been told I had a really strong English accent, but then I came back to Malaysia and it turned to more of a TV-American accent. Then when I went back to England when I was 12 I used to get bullied for having an American accent. By the time I came back to Malaysia when I was 21, it just keeps jumping between one or the other. There was once I got to talking with a Scottish guy and he thought I was from Glasgow, which was weird. Sometimes the Manglish comes out but like I said, it depends on who I'm talking to. I remember once I was sat in a booth in a bar and the guy on my right spoke with a strong cockney accent and the guy on my left was from the States whilst the guy in front of me was local and whenever I turned from one person to the other my accent would switch. Then my brain decided this was too much to compute and I switched to another booth. ===== Debbie promises to ask juicier questions the next time she gets a chance. But you can ask him yourself at the showcase on Thursday, 5th May 2011, The Actors Studio. If you're shy, you should tweet it with the hashtag #askkhai. |
