Please, God, Not Yet… – Yasmin Ahmad

“Eeeeuuwwww! I would never want to do that!”

Saturday afternoon (or was it Thursday?), Sfunz Theatre, Pusan. We had just finished watching Yasmin Ahmad’s world premiere of ‘Muallaf’. The screening went well; the halls were full, and there were a number of intelligent questions querying the director after the screening. After all that was done, all the Malaysians took the fine opportunity to take pictures together. It was sizeable; Amir Muhammad and Azharr Rudin, representing ‘Punggok Rindukan Bulan’ (another world premiere), were there, as was Wong Tuck Cheong.

“If you do that, then it will stay with you forever. I don’t want to have that on my CV.”

Hello world!

The title of this post is the default one for any first post on WordPress. I have sat here for a while, trying to think of another title.

But why change that which is unbroken?

After all, it is an apt one. Furthermore, in our first post, little more need to be done than to introduce ourselves. We are not filmmakers (at least, not both of us). So the question persists: why are we doing this? Why another film blog?
