Daily Cuts - Insights into independent film, Hero Borneo
In ‘Made in SG’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Lee R., Director-Producer behind the independent movie ‘Hero Borneo’. It stars Malaysian matinee idol Zaidi Omar as Pak Demai, a cantankerous village fisherman who wants his son Aman to follow in his footsteps. But Aman is disinterested in village life and yearns to live in the big city when he grows up. Lee discusses what makes the film a unique story, and how this distinct Borneo narrative is presented from a Singaporean director’s eyes.
