LOS dan FAUN dah nak habis shooting!!!!... Filem yang paling pelik dan tak betul yang saya pernah buat.

Principal photography for Los dan Faun dah nak habis dan stress kepala hotak aku pun dah nak settle.... i am so thankful dan amat gumbira sekali yang VISIONWORKS akan ada dibawahnya insya'allah sebuah filem melayu yang entertaining, funny, pelik and hopefully informative.
Check out some of the teaser posters done by ISMA. Check it.



Much kudos to the cast for giving their best in all the scenes. Setiap scene ada kelebihannya. Setiap scene ada aje orang yang shine dan memberi lebih dari 100 percent. In film terms we call them 'scene stealers' and there are many in this movie.



Sorry i cannot blog more because i have to get ready for the final scene tomorrow involving someone falling out of a single engine helicopter. Doakan everything selamat.... i am so excited for all of you to see the movie.

35 YEARS OLD AND STILL KICKING! What a wonderful birthday. Syukur Alhamdulillah!

Cip Kodok tengah explain scene rogol dengan FAUN.
With the most beautiful co-star we had on set. The beautiful kak Yusni.

The truth is, for the last 5 years i have worked thru my birthday and this year was no different. Due to The hectic scedule of the LOS dan FAUN production, we were still shooting on the 19th of MAY. BUT hey that is life iam so bersyukur because for the first time in a long while i am not so knee deep in financial shit. I am sort of floating around in it right now, which is not too bad.

Things are looking up... something i had to make myself belief when times were hard. At times this single factor alone could drive one to achieve his or her vision. I have always gone against the flow. At times i have paid for it, but in many other times have benefitted by getting some outstanding and groundbreaking results.

Tengah tengok anak bulan......atau anak orang?!!

So yeah, i had a great birthday today.

1. I was working for the earlier part of the day on a really exciting film project, and managed to complete everything on my schedule.
2. My two beautiful babies came to the set with wifey and we had cake on set.
3. We went for lunch together.
4. Spend time with kids at home allowing wifey to take an afternoon nap.
5. had a mini nap in my kiddies room.
6. Went to have chinese dinner with wife. The ikan kod steam dengan soy sauce was like gold melting in your mouth.
7. Saw the poseidon at tgv klcc and had a blast. Not the best movie in the world but one that keeps you on edge for the longest time.
8. Had a nice conversation with the wifey at the concorde coffee house. haven't been able to sit down with her and just talk about nothig and everything in a while.
9.Had a good 8 hours sleep.
Alhamdulillah for making my birthday such a meaningful one.

An Interesting story!

Hi there gang. Got this over the e-mail today and i know some of you might have read it before but i think it is worthy of sharing to those who have not heard the story before. i really believe insya'allah that it is part of god's greater plan.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day,
while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help
coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy,
screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad
from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse
surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced
himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer
replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to
the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my
own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt
grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time,
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on
to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming,
the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was
stricken with pneumonia.
What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.

It's National Friendship Week. Send this to
everyone you consider A FRIEND.
Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May Allah fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

MORE POWER TO ALL OF YOU.

PS. for those of you still interested.
64 days no smoke.
Alhamdulillah.

YOU WANNA B A MOVIE STAR!!

It's been quite a while since gua blogged and the reason has been the intense schedule of LOS dan FAUN.
I have to say gang, when i was starting the movie i was suddenly stricken by a panic attack because i was afraid i had forgotten how to direct. I must admit that it was rough first couple of days but i am happy to announce we are going strong and we are rocking the chekodok bang bang!. This movie is probably the wierdest almost experimental or very-de-mental MELAYU MOVIE.
Me and some really cute extras yang Patrick Teoh didn't get to meet.
Crew tengah standby nak shooting.

It hasn't been without drama however because after just about two weeks, gua terpaksa masuk hospital sat because of dehydration but i was in and out in the same day. This shoot has been quite tremendous and mendahsyatkan kerana apa yang telah kami shoot dan apa yang akan kami shoot. I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience working with such great actors, Adlin, Hans, Khir Rahman, Stephen Rahman, Ida Nerina, Erra, Din Beramboi, Douglas Lim, Rashid Salleh, Nadia Mustaffar, Edwin Sumun... they are all so talented, gila and bagus. I wish they can all win an academy award or some type of award as an ensemble.

Something interesting to report is that a few bloggers have also made their way into the film. Currently these people are ANNE aka Lourenzar and DJ cybersonic. Hee Hee.... they were in some kelakar gaban scenes.

After going thru this crazy fortnight i have decided to do another competition for anyone who wants to have a chance to be on LOS dan FAUN..... And it's called the 'WHY I SHOULD BE in one scene ON LOS dan FAUN competition!' The best answer gets to be on los and faun and we will also give you some CASH for your efforts. So what you waiting for, send me an email with the competition name as the title and come on over and be a star.

Anne is also organising a set visit for all kodoks interested to do a set visit on LOS dan FAUN and you are all welcome to meet the artistes who are available on the day and tangkap gambar kalau teringin, so for more information about the set visit call ANNE at 03-41435097. Limited to the first 50 people only, sorry. Itu saja kami mampu ketika ini.
