Shooting for MalaysianTalents.com

Code-named MTDC, by Popiah Pictures; idea by Douglas Lim, modelled on The Office and Extras; launching on gua.com.my on the 15th of January 2008 (information correct as of today).

The first full week of 2008 and I'm kept occupied with the shooting of this 20-episode series of under-5-minute shows introducing Douglas' website that he put up about 2 years ago and hadn't had time to further develop until now. Of course, this way of introducing it is typically his - he plays a pompous know-it-all who gets celebrity actors to come in to register for his site and teaches them the finer points of acting. He also takes in some students (this is where I come in) to 'make into stars'. It's dry, it's hilarious and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Great stuff.

There's also a Facebook group up, check it out here.

Some teaser pics from the set:

I will, of course, post the moment it goes live.
