THE FIRST NETRUNNER
Inspired by CD Projekt Red, The First Netrunner is a cyberpunk thriller shot in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Following the story of a misguided genius, we see Silver navigate her relationships with those she loved, those who left her, and what she plans to do about everything around her. This hour-long film is an invitation to explore human nature and just how far we are willing to go in the face of grief.
HEART BREAK SEASON
Heartbreak has never been easy to navigate. In the midst of all the tears we shed, we can end up stumbling over our own mistakes. Heartbreak Season is about Wesley’s journey, discovering that he cannot ignore the past but must not only embrace it, but also learn to live with it through, Andrea, a femme fatale , becomes, the catalyst for him to recognize his own ignorance.
HOLD
With her last resort being a telephone booth, a blunt blade and an escape care package, Armith, a spy, finds herself at the end of her road. By effectively utilising storyboarding and motivated lighting, “HOLD” brings out the thrilling last moments of the spy’s life, while also surrounding themes such as family and sacrifice.
SUBMITTED
Running out of time, being under pressure, and late submissions are common college experiences. "SUBMITTED" is a charming short film about this very scenario. With a tempo-based score, "SUBMITTED" aims to shed light on and add humour to the ridiculous nature of college submissions.
START . . . AGAIN
Feeling alone and dejected is an unwelcoming experience, no matter how ubiquitous it is. The sense of isolation creeps in on us regularly in intervals of life that we might not be aware of. It is in this solemn state that we often find connection and friendship and learn to see how it exists all around us. "Start . . . Again" is a film about that same feeling.
