I accompanied Baki Zainal (Celebrity Lion) to the launching of 15 Malaysia recently @ the IMAX theatre @ Berjaya Times Square. Basically, the project, fruits of labour from 15 different directors... produced by Pete Teo... was aimed at putting our social & community issues right in front of us to look at... Well, in a different way ~ short films!!!!15 different voices (from the directors) giving a shout out about the topic that they are focusing on... and some chose the artistic ways (believe me... when I walked out of the cinema.. there were 1-2 of the films that baffled me until I got a little more explanation thereafter! hahaha) .. some chose the humour way... some chose the "dark" ways and so and so fort...! oh ya, while you have to wait every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a release of a brand new short film in the 15Malaysia project...(from Aug 17th onwards).. I have already watched all 14 of them... the 15th one is a "mystery" to all! :)
Baki, Cynthia (P1) & Pete Teo (Producer of 15Malaysia)
Baki, who has also contributed his time and energy... acted alongside political leaders like Khairy Jamaluddin & also Dato' Seri Liow Tiong Lai (Health Minister). The two films are entitled "Meter" & "Health Paranoia"... watch out for the release date coming soon!!!
Our country has more people than Australia & New Zealand combined! However, we have more ethnic groups than most countries of the world.. all living and shetering under one roof we all call home! There are many issues that the 15Malaysia Project is trying to reach out to the people... from racial to perception...economical to health issues... psychopath paedophillia to the "men-in-black".... all done in short films of no longer than 10 mins I think.
Leos... if you have the time, log on to www.15malaysia.com! Don;t just laugh over the films. Think twice.. 3 times...or even more!!! Review the film again and again to see if you actually can capture the true meaning the director is trying to tell us!!!
Oh ya.. just in case if you are wondering who is Pete Teo... well, if you have heard the song, "Here in my Home" by many, many local artists... (called MAFU - Malaysian Artistes For Unity), yup.. that's Pete's project too! Here's MV...
