LOCAL filmmaker Abdul Zainidi will be featured in Channel NewsAsia in May this year in Singapore’s TV documentary entitled, ‘The Asean I Know’ on May this year.
In an interview session between Abdul Zainidi and Augustine, the producer of the programme, Abdul Zainidi touched on Brunei where he highlighted, “Size is not a hindrance, we may be smaller compared to our fellow Asean member countries but we have potential and stories to be told whether they are surreal or strange. Our art is going to be exposed.
“Asean is like a story book and each chapter is a story like an each country. Brunei Darussalam is one chapter,” he added.
Based in Tutong, the young filmmaker shot to fame with his first short film on the horror documentary titled ‘Vanishing Children’ followed by another two films namely ‘More Vanishing Children’ and ‘Still Vanishing children’.
Abdul Zainidi ventured in filming was because he wanted to introduce and promote Brunei.
“I felt that film is one of the best platforms to promote Brunei,” he added.
The local filmmaker will head to Europe to attend the film festival in Amsterdam, Holland before going to Busan to learn more about filmmaking in a full scholarship from the Busan Film School in Korea.
