Ciplak

Did you know that Malaysia is the number one exporter of pirated optical disc products in the world?

Did you know that the reason why a number of films come out in England much later than in the US is because Hollywood thinks of the U.K. as a secondary market?

Jo knows this. And like many other Malaysian students studying abroad, everytime Jo comes back to uni in London he brings with him DVD's of movies the UK won't see for a good few months.

Most Malaysian students bring these pirated DVD's for personal pleasure.

Some Malaysian students bring these pirated DVD's to sell to their classmates.

Jo brings them to sell to bootlegger's in East London for 50 quid a pop. They copy them and sell them on the black market.

It's Jo's last day in KL for his Easter holidays before returning back for his last term in City University. He's ready for the big score. He's got the buyer waiting. He's got it all planned.

If only he knew there'd be a raid.

You read it here first. Draft one is complete and in the midst of a rewrite. Shooting begins on October 1st by hook or by crook. Anybody nick this and I'll feed you to the fricking leeches. These posts are dated on servers in the UK and I'll sue you, America-style.

However, if you'd like to help out or audition or by some twisted miracle want to give me money to produce this movie that will almost definitely be banned, let me know.
