I attended the
Asia Film Week seminars during the weekend.
Can't say i was jumping up&down about it because god knows it was the
friggin weekend.
And the fact that none of the cabs i took actually knew WHERE the godforsaken location was.
I literally felt like it was the blind leading the blind when i sat at the back of the cab, safety belt strapped on,
cluelessly nodding my head and going "ah. err.
ok." as Mr.
Cabby forwarded question after question if "this turning correct ah?" or if "this road can or not?"
I
dont know
damnit.
You're the
bladi cab driver.
Then again i cant blame the poor fella.
It was held at
ASWARA aka
Akedemi Seni Budaya Warisan Kebangsaan translated as
National Arts Culture and Heritage Academy.
Say
wha... ?
whe...?
i know. Mouthful
isnt it?
Organise la somewhere that actually exists.
Wild goose chases in the early hours of the day rushing to attend a seminar on a weekend is no good for the young working
adult's soul yo.
Damages. Damages i tell ya.
Anyhoots.
It was a pretty expensive seminar and i had the
priviledge of attending free of charge.
AhBoon browsing tru our cheapo photostated 3-day guidebook
Friday was a total drag.
Same speaker from last year. Same info. Recycled jokes.
Snorelax.
Saturday, on the other hand, was very very worthwhile.
Had the honours of watching
CafeFX present and answer questions about their work. Works that included one of my favourite films of all time -
Pan's Labyrinth.
They also did
fx for
SinCity,
G-force,
G.I.Joe,
Nim's Island,
KiteRunner and are currently working on the very-pleasing-to-the-eyes'
Alice in Wonderland.
Yeah. Drop that jaw. now.
I was too
paiseh to ask for photos.
So i snap from far.
See, even during
breaktime, people are lining up to ask questions.
Jeff, the co-founder of
CafeFX, was a damn nice guy when we went forward to enquire about
AhBoon's tracking issues.
There were so many
ppl continuously coming up to him that he had to excuse himself for a toilet break before running back to
layan the rest of the
quezzies.
I sense the stimulating aura of respect
illuminating for him as well as a rather
pungent stench of jealousy coming from my end.
Aih.
Sunday, was relevant but unfortunately doze-inducing too.
Good thing was that
Peter Wunstorf threw us some outdoor action by dragging our asses into the open for some lighting and shadow tips.

Weekend.
Stolen.
With interest.
