Retarded

"SO RETARDED!"

That word is used pretty often nowadays to describe almost anything. Whether it's say how silly, how stupid or how hilarious that something is, people will just call it retarded.

Question is - Don't you think it's rather insensitive to those who are mentally challenged as well for those who are close to them?

Appearing in different ways, whether through a hanging out session, Facebook wall post or even a birthday surprise - It still boils down back to the heart. Grasping the fact that we have a mind that is well and good, should we behave in an ungrateful manner by making fun of the mentally challenged (although not intentionally at times)?

Let us not be reckless in our thoughts - make a change!

On the production side of things, once more, credits to the Evelyn and Wen-li for offering their place to shoot the scenes as well as Subway at Taman Tun (if you recognize where it was)!

Being pretty new to the camera, I understand that they're acting may not be superb but I'd say it's a good attempt nonetheless. With proper sharpening of skills along the way, I believe they can be really good at this! :)

This sundae short is actually produced quite a while back, since early February. The reason why it's not released yet was due to certain reasons but well, it's here now! :D

MY Generation competing at the Cannes Film Festival 2011!

It's not too surprising for the fact that many locals here are not too familiar with prestigious film festival - Cannes Film Festival 2011 at France as it's not really publicized much here.. except for movies such as Mr Bean's Vacation (2007) where he traveled far to finally attend it for that year.

Nonetheless, sundae productions along with other indie production houses such UP Films, Damn Syiok Productions and GL Productions have gathered forces to compete for this year with our short film titled as - MY Generation.

We just premiered it 2 days back at The Canteen, PJ Trade Centre where we invited the whole crew and casts to watch and give feedback to the end product! Here are some photos of it:

Some dancers from the studio were invited for the premiere as a sign of thank you for their contribution!

Due to the fact that we're submitting this short film to upcoming film competitions/festivals, we're unable to upload this on the internet or we'd be disqualified for our entry. Great apologies on that! However, if you're really interested to have a look at it, just let me know (if you personally know me :P)!

Was a great experience working with these guys and this project pretty much took up 3 weeks of hard work. Will be hoping for the best for the Cannes Film Festival as they'll get back to us before the 14th of April to know whether we made it! :)

It's a Chocolate sundae: All England Badminton 2011 Finals Highlights!

Introducing the first Chocolate sundae - a sweet treat for you guys!

It's a self compiled highlights by sundae productions on the recent All England Badminton 2011 Finals between the world's 2 best badminton players: Lee Chong Wei(MAS) vs Lin Dan(CHN). After asking around and finding out that many have missed out this great match due to lacking the time to watch the full match (or just wanting to watch the juicy part of it), here it is - 9 minutes of epicness!

Amazing smashes and drop shots as well as the dives made by both players. GG indeed!

Be sure to share this treat with others :)
