One Future / Malaysia / 2009 / 4’45 / 4:3
One Future is an edgy and powerful science fiction story of a society where everything is perfect, except no one is allowed to speak.
Company of Mushrooms / Malaysia / 2006 / 30' / 4:3
Company of Mushrooms portrays a dinner between men on a hot and humid summer's evening with a naturalistic rigour that further exacerbates the solitude of certain, seemingly anodyne moments in life. Let loose before the camera, the actors seem to allow themselves to veer into improvisation, resulting in cinema that is as heart-warming as it is stark.
