A Malaysian director recently got into the limelight after his film, Guang, gained attention at the 21st Shanghai International Film Festival and Asia Fukuoka International Film Festival 2018!
Johor-raised Quek Shio Chuan directed the movie that was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress at the Shanghai International Film Festival Asian New Talent Awards.
The movie, which is based on a 2011 short film, focuses on the story of an autistic man named Wen Guang, who struggles to find a job to share his family expenses.
Shio Chuan revealed that “It’s been a very long journey, and sometimes making this film almost felt impossible. I’m very humbled and honoured to be recognised for all our hard work on the film.”
We're glad to see our local film going this far in the film industry! The film is set to be released in December this year .
