Pimpin' Off To Pusan

So for those not in the know, the last thing I did before becoming a hermit for a couple of months was a short film called 'Healthy Paranoia' for 15 Malaysia, a short film project where 15 local filmmakers created 15 short films about what we thought of our lovely country:-

And there's also a making of here:-

The flick was shot with the actual Minister of Health in the Ministry of Health itself and the dude was a pretty cool guy too. Amongst the other filmmakers involved were the late Yasmin Ahmad, Col. Kurtz himself - Johan John, the Suleimans, Benji & Bahir and a whole bunch of pimp daddies rollin' in the caddies.

When I took the job, I just thought it'd be fun to do a short film on a budget. Gig's a gig, right? What I didn't expect was to find myself with a sponsored trip together with the other pimp daddies to the Pusan International Film Festival in Korea.

Sweet.

Thing is, I thought since I have my 5D and haven't been doing enough with the damn thing, I figured instead of blogging about the experience I might as well video blog it. Of course, this depends on whether or not I find the time to edit and upload whilst I'm there (or whether I'm of sound health and mind during the trip to do so).

Regardless, here's part one:-

Wednesday is flight day. Let's see what bad craziness we get up to...
